Israel blames 'misidentification' for deadly airstrike on aid convoy in Gaza

06:28 Min

Israel is facing global condemnation over the killing of seven aid workers, amid growing calls for thorough investigations into the incident. A World Central Kitchen convoy was hit after it unloaded more than 100 tonnes of food brought to Gaza by sea, marking a potential major setback in efforts to deliver aid to the besieged enclave. This brings the total number of aid workers killed in Gaza to nearly 200. Israel has blamed the airstrike as a "misidentification". The military thought a Hamas militant was in the convoy, and used a drone to fire three missiles. Alex Cadier reports from Tel Aviv.
