Israel military fires senior officers after aid workers killed in Gaza | BBC News

The Israeli military has fired senior officers after seven World Central Kitchen (WCK) aid workers were killed in a strike in Gaza.

The Israel Defense Forces’ inquiry into Monday’s incident said some workers survived initial air strikes, but were killed when a third car was hit.

Israel said the incident was a “grave mistake” and vowed to take “immediate action” to ensure that more was done to protect aid workers.

WCK and other aid agencies have paused their operations in Gaza, where the UN estimates 1.1 million people are facing catastrophic hunger.
