According to the Israeli military, “several professional failures, breaches of orders, and a failure to fully report the incident” were discovered during its inquiry into the deaths of relief workers in Gaza.
According to the Israel Defence Forces (IDF), there was “no attempt to conceal the event” and a commanding officer will get reprimands after the military investigation, while a deputy commander will be fired for submitting a “inaccurate report.”
On March 23, Israeli military opened fire on a column of vehicles, including ambulances, killing 15 relief workers.
A week later, representatives of the Palestinian Red Crescent and the United Nations discovered their remains in a shallow cemetery where they had been buried.
