Israel is promising a transparent investigation after a "tragic" incident in the Gaza Strip resulted in the deaths of seven World Central Kitchen food aid workers.

"Last night, an incident took place in Gaza that resulted in the tragic death of World Central Kitchen employees as they fulfilled their vital mission of bringing food to people in need. As a professional military committed to international law, we are committed to examining our operations thoroughly and transparently," Israel's chief military spokesman, Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari, said in a statement posted following the strike.
World Central Kitchen CEO Erin Gore described the incident as "not only an attack against WCK," but an "attack on humanitarian organizations showing up in the most dire of situations where food is being used as a weapon of war" and that it is "unforgivable."
