Israel has fired two military commanders and reprimanded a third over a drone strike in Gaza that killed seven World Central Kitchen workers on Monday, saying they had mishandled critical information and violated the army’s rules of engagement.
The workers from the charity, which provides food relief in crisis and conflict zones, were killed when their convoy was hit repeatedly on Monday night shortly after they oversaw the unloading of 100 tons of food brought to the Palestinian territory by sea.
According to the findings of an investigation into the incident, released today, the IDF said that the attack ‘should not have occurred’. Israel apologised for the killing of the seven workers, calling the attack a ‘grave mistake’.
