Israel says shots fired at WFP vehicle in Gaza were 'communication error'

29 August 2024 23:27 BST

Israel told the US that an initial review found that shots were fired at a clearly marked World Food Programme (WFP) vehicle in the Gaza Strip after a "communication error" between Israeli military units, deputy US envoy to the UN Robert Wood said on Thursday.

"We have urged them to immediately rectify the issues within their system," Wood told a UN Security Council meeting on Gaza.

"Israel must not only take ownership for its mistakes, but also take concrete actions to ensure the IDF does not fire on UN personnel again," he added.
