Netanyahu says Israel will thoroughly investigate accidental killing of aid workers in Gaza

After the IDF said it was responsible for the strike that killed seven World Central Kitchen workers in Gaza overnight, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says Israel will do everything it can to ensure an incident like that doesn’t happen again.

“Unfortunately, yesterday there was a tragic incident in which our forces accidentally struck innocent people in the Gaza Strip,” he says ahead of his discharge from Hadassah Medical Center where he underwent surgery for a hernia earlier this week.

“This happens in war, we are thoroughly investigating it, we are in contact with the relevant parties and will do everything to ensure that this sort of thing doesn’t happen again,” he says.
