Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu made a statement on Tuesday addressing a tragic incident where Israeli forces unintentionally struck innocent people in the Gaza Strip. Netanyahu expressed regret over the incident, stating that such occurrences can happen in the midst of war.
Netanyahu emphasized that a thorough investigation is underway to understand the circumstances that led to the unintended strike. He assured that Israel is in communication with relevant governments and is committed to taking measures to prevent similar incidents in the future.
The statement from Netanyahu followed the deaths of at least seven aid workers from World Central Kitchen (WCK) in Gaza. However, the Israeli prime minister did not specifically mention the casualties of the WCK team in his remarks.
Earlier on Tuesday, the Israel Defense Forces announced that they were conducting a high-level investigation into the strike. The incident has raised concerns about the safety of civilians and aid workers in the conflict zone.
Netanyahu's acknowledgment of the unintentional strike reflects the complexities and challenges of warfare, where civilian casualties can occur despite efforts to minimize harm. The incident underscores the need for continued efforts to protect innocent lives and ensure the safety of humanitarian workers in conflict-affected areas.
