The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) have dismissed two officers and reprimanded three others for their role in a series of drone strikes on April 1 that resulted in the deaths of seven humanitarian aid workers in the embattled Gaza Strip.
The IDF announced the punitive actions in a press statement Friday after the Israeli military concluded an internal investigation of its deadly strike. The investigation, led by IDF Maj. Gen. (res.) Yoav Har-Even concluded IDF members had reason to believe there were gunmen on the World Central Kitchen (WCK) aid convoy that was struck, but that the decision to conduct the strikes didn’t follow Israeli military standards.
