The Israeli military has dismissed two officers and reprimanded three others for their roles in Gaza drone strikes that killed seven food aid workers.
The Israeli military said Friday that it dismissed two officers and reprimanded three others for their roles in drone strikes in Gaza that killed seven aid workers on a food-delivery mission, saying they had mishandled critical information and violated the army’s rules of engagement. The findings of a retired general's investigation into the Monday killings marked an embarrassing admission by Israel, which faces growing accusations from key allies, including the U.S.
It said the results of its investigation were turned over to the military’s advocate general, who will decide whether the officers or anyone else involved in the killings should receive further punishment or be prosecuted. The killings were condemned by Israel’s closest allies. They heightened criticism of Israel’s conduct in the nearly six-month-old war with Hamas — and put renewed focus on the dire situation in Gaza.
