The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) have admitted that a recent strike which resulted in the deaths of seven World Central Kitchen (WCK) aid workers was a violation of their procedures and should not have occurred. The IDF released a report on Friday detailing the incident, which they described as a 'grave mistake.'
According to the IDF report, the incident occurred when IDF forces identified gunmen on one of the aid trucks and mistakenly assumed that there were additional gunmen in the accompanying vehicles. The report stated that after the aid had been unloaded from the warehouse, a commander mistakenly believed that the vehicles were carrying Hamas terrorists.
