Halevi noted that the IDF completed a preliminary debrief and added, “I want to be very clear—the strike was not carried out with the intention of harming WCK aid workers. It was a mistake that followed a misidentification–at night during a war in very complex conditions. It shouldn’t have happened.”
He continued, “We will continue taking immediate actions to ensure that more is done to protect humanitarian aid workers.”
“This incident was a grave mistake,” Halevi stressed. “Israel is at war with Hamas, not with the people of Gaza. We are sorry for the unintentional harm to the members of WCK. We share in the grief of their families, as well as the entire World Central Kitchen organization, from the bottom of our hearts.”
I recall regular accounts of US forces blowing up civilians in Afghanistan and Iraq during their occupations there. No emergency UNSC meetings. No hysterical protests in the street.
ReplyDeleteFrankly, there's a 50% change that in the next week it'll turn out it was a misguided Hamas rocket that did it.
