Israeli Channel 14 said that Herzi Halevy decided to remove the Nahal Brigade Commander and the District Aid Commander after the killing of aid workers in the Gaza Strip.
The channel added that the Chief of Staff decided to reprimand the commander of the southern region and the commanders of the 162nd Division and the Nahal Brigade.
This comes after the Israeli army targeted, last Monday evening, a convoy of the World Central Kitchen organization in Deir al-Balah in the central Gaza Strip, which resulted in the killing of 7 foreign employees who held the nationalities of Australia, Poland, Britain, the United States, Canada and Palestine.
This matter caused Arab and international condemnations and demands for an investigation into the incident.
In this regard, an Israeli official told CNN that the Israeli army has completed its preliminary investigation into the strikes on the Walled Central Kitchen convoy, adding that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the Minister of Defense are scheduled to be informed of the results.
The Israeli government spokeswoman announced that the army's investigation into the air strike that killed 7 aid workers in the Gaza Strip may take several weeks.
She indicated that the Chief of Staff shared the initial investigation results, which indicated that it was a mistake due to the difficulty of identifying the target at night in light of the very complex conditions of war, and “we are conducting a comprehensive, detailed and transparent investigation of this issue, through the fact-finding and assessment mechanism, which is a body.” “Independent experts. During the coming weeks, when the results become clear, we will announce the results and share them with the public clearly.”
