World Central Kitchen confirms the deaths of seven of its employees. The aid workers had just left a warehouse in the town of Deir al-Balah in the central part of the Gaza Strip when they were fired upon.
The convoy was hit, even though the trip had been coordinated with the Israeli army. Calls for a thorough investigation are growing. Israeli army spokesman Daniel Hagari said Israel's army is bound by international law. “We are obliged to investigate our operations thoroughly and transparently,” said Hagari.
