Result of Israeli investigation: Two officers dismissed due to attack leading to the death of 7 aid workers in Gaza
In response to increasing criticism over the Israeli army’s actions in Gaza and the killing of seven aid workers from the Global Central Kitchen, Israel has dismissed two of its officers and reprimanded three others.
Daniel Hagari, the senior spokesperson for the Israeli army, described the death of these aid workers as a tragedy on Thursday evening, April 4th, and told reporters that the dismissed and reprimanded individuals violated army regulations and demonstrated mismanagement in this matter.
Mr. Hagari stated that the head of Israel’s Southern Command is among those reprimanded and announced that the results of the investigation have been handed over to the army’s chief legal officer to decide whether other individuals were involved in this issue and whether further punishment is necessary for the offending soldiers.
The dismissed military personnel are a colonel and a major from the Israeli army.
