Israeli military says review into its killing of Gaza aid workers found ‘professional failures’ – POLITICO

by · POLITICO

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) announced on Sunday that an internal investigation into its killing of 15 humanitarian and medical workers in Gaza has found “several professional failures, breaches of orders, and a failure to fully report the incident.”

The Israeli military has faced in the last weeks severe criticism by international leaders for killing 15 humanitarian workers and medics on 23 March, burying them in shallow graves, and misreporting details of the incident afterwards.

The workers’ bodies were found a week later by U.N. and Palestinian Red Crescent staff.
