Israeli army expresses 'sincere sorrow' to World Central Kitchen, promises transparent probe

Israeli military spokesperson Daniel Hagari said in a video statement that he spoke to World Central Kitchen (WCK) founder Jose Anders and expressed his "deepest condolences" and "sincere sorrow" to the organisation as well as "allied nations" who have been procuring aid to the Gaza Strip.

The statement comes after WCK  said that seven of its aid workers from the UK, Australia, Poland, Palestine and a dual American-Canadian national were killed by an Israeli strike on their vehicle.

“We have been reviewing the incident at the highest levels to understand the circumstances of what happened and how it happened,” he said.

Hagari said Israel will probe the "serious incident" to "reduce the risk of such an event from occurring again," though he did not directly take responsibility for the attack.

"We will get to the bottom of this and we will share our findings transparently."
