Israel’s military (IDF) has confirmed that it fired at the convoy, but believes it was a mistake as the darkness made it difficult to confirm the identity of the vehicles.
On Thursday, Raquela Karamson, spokeswoman for the Israeli government, said that it will adjust its strategies in Gaza after the incident.

– We will change our procedures to ensure that this does not happen again.
The weapon that the experts point to
But several world leaders and international aid organizations have come down hard on Israel after the deadly attack and called for an independent investigation. Several home countries of the slain aid workers have also launched their own criminal investigations.
It is not yet confirmed what type of weapon was used, but several international weapons experts have pointed to so-called Spike robots, fired from Israeli drones.
And the founder of World central kitchen, Jose Andres, is skeptical of the IDF’s excuses and believes that the incident was intentional.
– No democratic country should shoot at humanitarian organizations, especially not with today’s technology where you can see everything. There are drones flying in Gaza nonstop, there is nothing moving that the IDF does not know about.
