Israel takes responsibility for a series of air strikes that killed several aid workers, including Australian 'Zomi' Frankcom, in Gaza, as the country's PM Benjamin Netanyahu says 'it happens in war'.
Israel has taken responsibility for a series of air strikes that killed several aid workers, including Australian "Zomi" Frankcom, in Gaza earlier this week.
The group was working for the charity World Central Kitchen , transporting food and other supplies to northern Gaza. Video circulating online showed Ms Frankcom's body, and her passport, lying on the floor of an indoor space, with other corpses. He described the IDF as "a professional military committed to international law", and said there would be a transparent investigation.
"It's devastating to see these images and to hear these early reports about the steps that tried to take to protect themselves," he said. A World Food Programme report released at the weekend found 1.1 million people in Gaza had completely exhausted their food supplies and were struggling with catastrophic hunger.
Meanwhile, the UK's foreign office summoned the Israeli ambassador for a please explain, and Canada's Foreign Minister Melanie Joly said she was "horrified" about the IDF's strikes.
