THE Israel Defence Forces (IDF) are to conduct a thorough investigation “at the highest levels” into the deaths of seven aid workers of the World Central Kitchen (WCK) aid organisation.
The IDF spokesman Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari made the pledged.
“We are a professional military committed to international law. We are committed to examining our
operations thoroughly and transparently,” Hagari said in a video message in English posted on X.
“We will get to the bottom of this, and we will share our findings transparently,” he pledged.
He added that efforts would be made to prevent a recurrence.
Hagari said he had spoken personally to WCK head José Andrés to express his condolences.
He paid tribute to WCK, noting that it had been one of the first organisations to assist Israel following the Oct.
7 attacks mounted from the Gaza Strip.
“The work of WCK is critical,” he said. They fulfil a vital mission of bringing food to people in need.” (dpa/NAN)
