Israel acknowledges killing 7 aid charity workers in ‚tragic, unintentional‘ airstrike – Facing searing criticism on Tuesday, Israel acknowledged mistakenly carrying out strikes that killed seven staff members of a US-based charity group who were unloading food brought by sea to the war-torn Gaza Strip. The group World Central Kitchen said it was pausing operations after a “targeted Israeli strike” on Monday killed three British and four other staffers — an Australian, a Palestinian, a Pole and a US-Canadian. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu acknowledged a “tragic” and “unintentional” incident and vowed to “do everything” to prevent a recurrence. | The Times of Israel
