Israeli Defence Force Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari says the attack on the aid convoy was the result of mis-identification. "The brigade fire support commander and officer with the rank of major will be dismissed from his position. The brigade chief of staff and officer with the rank of a colonel will be dismissed from his position. The brigade commander and the division commander will be formally reprimanded. Additionally, the IDF chief of the General Staff decided to formally reprimand the commander of the Southern Command for his overall responsibility for the incident.
The United Nations say since the start of the war with Gaza nearly 200 humanitarian workers have been killed. Meanwhile, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken says the U-S has received Israel's findings and they will respond in coming days.
