IDF: Death of World Central Kitchen Workers in Gaza Shouldn't Have Happened
(Ynet News) Yoav Zitun - IDF Chief of Staff Lt.-Gen. Herzi Halevi said Wednesday that the Tuesday night incident in which seven World Central Kitchen (WCK) volunteers were accidentally killed by military forces "was a mistake that followed a misidentification - at night during a war in very complex conditions. It shouldn't have happened." "WCK is an organization whose people work across the globe, including in Israel, to do good deeds in difficult conditions. The IDF works closely with the World Central Kitchen and greatly appreciates the important work that they do....I want to be very clear; the strike wasn't carried out with the intention of harming WCK aid workers....This incident was a grave mistake. Israel is at war with Hamas, not with the people of Gaza....We are sorry for the unintentional harm to the members of WCK." "An independent body will investigate the incident thoroughly....We will share, in full transparency, the findings of the investigation with the World Central Kitchen and other relevant international organizations. We see great importance in our continued delivery of humanitarian aid."
