Israeli military chief says strike was a 'grave mistake'
Israel's top military commander said the strike that killed seven aid workers from the World Central Kitchen (WCK) in Gaza was a "grave mistake."
"It was a mistake that followed a misidentification, at night, during a war, in very complex conditions. It shouldn't have happened," Halevi said during a video statement released on Wednesday..
The military chief made the comments after having been presented with the initial findings of a preliminary investigation that was initiated after the deadly strike.
Halevi said the Israeli military will "continue taking immediate action to ensure more is done to protect humanitarian aid workers."
"Israel is at war with Hamas, not with the people of Gaza. We are sorry for the unintentional harm to the members of WCK," Halevi said.
