The White House calls for a swift investigation into an Israeli airstrike on a UN food distribution facility in Gaza yesterday.
Israel said the strike killed a Hamas commander whom it targeted, but the Hamas-run Gaza health ministry health says it killed four more people including a UN worker.
White House National Security Spokesperson John Kirby tells reporters the United States is very concerned about the strike and calls for a swift investigation by the Israelis as to exactly what happened.
