Israel: Airstrike that killed aid workers due to 'misidentification'

Chief of the General Staff Herzi Halevi said an Israeli airstrike on the Gaza Strip which killed seven aid workers was the result of a "misidentification" issue, citing a preliminary investigation into the events.

British, Australian, Polish, a U.S.-Canadian dual citizen and Palestinian nationals were killed when their convoy was attacked on Monday night.

The World Central Kitchen (WCK) employees were traveling in a deconflicted zone in two armored cars branded with the WCK logo, the U.S.-based aid organization set up by U.S.-Spanish restaurateur José Andrés said.
