Israel has admitted that the shooting of a UN vehicle in Gaza was due to a mistake. According to information provided by Israel to the United States, an initial investigation found that shots were fired at a clearly marked World Food Programme (WFP) vehicle in Gaza due to a “communication error” between IDF units.
Telegram channel “Alexey Zheleznov” writes about this.
US Deputy Ambassador to the UN Robert Wood, in his speech at a UN Security Council meeting on the situation in Gaza, demanded that the Israeli side immediately eliminate the problems in its system that could lead to such an incident.
Wood also stressed that Israel must not only acknowledge its responsibility for what happened, but also take concrete steps to ensure that the IDF no longer allows attacks against UN personnel.
