Israel dismisses 2 officers over deadly strikes on World Central Kitchen workers in Gaza

LA Times  

The Israeli military said Friday that it dismissed two officers and reprimanded three others for their roles in drone strikes in Gaza that killed seven aid workers on a food-delivery mission, saying they had mishandled critical information and violated the army’s rules of engagement. More than 220 humanitarian workers have been killed in the conflict, according to the U.N. World Central Kitchen called the investigation and disciplinary actions “important steps forward” — but said more needed to be done. Secretary of State Antony J. Blinken said it was important that Israel was taking responsibility, and that the U.S. would review the findings and look “to see not just what steps are being taken but the results.” Military spokespeople said that under the Israeli army’s rules of engagement, officers must have more than one reason for identifying someone as a target before they can be hit. World Central Kitchen and the military said they coordinated the convoy’s movements, and that the vehicles were marked with the organization’s logo.
