In early April, seven aid workers from the aid organization World Central Kitchen (WCK) were killed in an Israeli air raid, which was strongly condemned internationally.

Israel's military (IDF) is blamed in Australia's investigation for misjudging the situation and violating security protocols.

Flagged Vehicles

Three vehicles in the aid convoy were attacked one after another in quick succession, according to investigator Mark Binskin, former air force chief in Australia.

The attack occurred after an Israeli surveillance drone flagged the vehicles after alerting that security personnel linked to the aid organization were carrying weapons.

Binskin calls the military's actions confused. Israel only discovered the mistake when reports of the attack began circulating on social media about an hour later, according to the investigation.

Israel dismissed two military personnel and three others were reprimanded after the incident, decisions that Binskin supports.

Demanding Accountability

The seven killed in the attack were three Britons, a Pole, an Australian, a Palestinian, and a person with dual citizenship in Canada and the USA.

Australia's Foreign Minister Penny Wong says that demanding accountability from Israel is not over.

The Australian government will continue to push for proper protection for aid workers to be in place, she says, adding:

The best protection for aid workers and civilians is a ceasefire.
