Netanyahu expressed regret for the incident and pledged to investigate it thoroughly to prevent such occurrences in the future.
The Israeli Army announced that an independent military entity, the Fact Investigation and Assessment Mechanism, will investigate the attack that led WCK to suspend its operations in the region. The IDF spokesperson, Daniel Hagari, conveyed condolences to chef Jos Andrés, the founder of the humanitarian group, for the tragic deaths of the workers.
The attack resulted in the deaths of seven NGO workers, including foreign nationals, making it a devastating blow during the ongoing conflict in Gaza.
