IDF Spokesman Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari says the military’s probe into a deadly strike on an aid convoy in Gaza earlier this week has been completed, and it will soon be presented to the public.
Responding to a question at a press conference, Hagari says the incident, in which seven aid workers with World Central Kitchen were killed, was investigated “thoroughly” by the General Staff Fact-Finding Assessment Mechanism, an independent military body responsible for investigating unusual incidents amid the war.
He says the head of the mechanism, Maj. Gen. (res.) Yoav Har-Even, presented the findings to IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Herzi Halevi earlier today, and was due to present it to Defense Minister Yoav Gallant and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as well.
“I believe that after we present it to the ambassadors of the relevant countries, and to the people of WCK, we will publicize it in a clear transparent way, soon,” Hagari adds.
We can't do this work alone.
The war with Iran has been draining for all of us in Israel. But when I heard about a high casualty incident – ballistic missile impacts in Arad and Dimona that left nearly 200 people wounded – I drank a cup of coffee, packed a bag, and headed south.
There, I spoke with Shilgit, the head of an after-school program for underprivileged youth. Standing outside her destroyed center, Shilgit said it was a miracle that no children were hurt and spoke about the community coming together in the hours since.
As a Times of Israel reporter, I’m committed to telling stories of resilience like Shilgit’s. But my colleagues and I can't do this alone.
