Israel identifies ‘serious violation’ of rules in attack on humanitarian convoy in Gaza

The Israeli strikes that killed seven employees of World Central Kitchen in Gaza earlier this week were “carried out in serious violation” of military procedures and constituted a “serious error resulting from a serious failure due to misidentification” of vehicles like carrying Hamas members, according to the findings of an Israeli military investigation released Friday. The humanitarian group stressed that its convoy had coordinated its route with Israeli military officials.

The United States wants Israel to make changes “to ensure that something like this can never happen again,” Secretary of State Antony Blinken said Friday, and is “looking to see not only what steps are taken but also the resulting results.
