The Israeli army announced this on Friday the dismissal of two officials and reprimands for three others, including the head of operations for the Southern Command in connection with the attack on the convoy of the humanitarian organization World Central Kitchen, in which seven of its members died.
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) concludes that both those fired and those reprimanded “mismanaged critical information” and “violated the rules of engagement established by the Israeli army.”
The conclusions of the investigation, led by General Yoav Har Evan and published on the Israeli army website, indicate that “the incident could have been avoided” and that “Those who advocated the attack were convinced that they were attacking armed activists” of the Palestinian Hamas movement.
Be that as it may, the Army points out that “the damage to the support vehicles is a serious error” resulting from a “serious” chain of errors “misidentification”an “error in decision making” and an “attack contrary to orders” to open fire.
