The deaths of the aid workers — six of them foreign nationals — have prompted a reckoning about Israel’s military tactics in a way that strikes that have killed Palestinian civilians have not.
People inspect one of the cars used by World Central Kitchen workers that was hit by an Israeli strike in Deir al-Balah, Gaza, on Monday. Israel’s military said Friday that a deadly attack on a World Central Kitchen humanitarian convoy that killed seven of the organization’s members was a “serious violation” of its policies after the airstrikes prompted global outrage and a rare rebuke from the Biden administration.
World Central Kitchen, in a statement Friday, said the findings were an “important step forward” but that the IDF “cannot credibly investigate its own failure in Gaza.”“We demand the creation of an independent commission to investigate the killings of our WCK colleagues,” it said. “The investigation’s findings indicate that the incident should not have occurred,” the statement said. “The strike on the aid vehicles is a grave mistake stemming from a serious failure due to a mistaken identification, errors in decision-making, and an attack contrary to the Standard Operating Procedures.
