An Israeli inquiry into the airstrike that claimed lives of seven aid workers in Gaza found serious military errors, resulting in two officers being dismissed and senior commanders reprimanded. The military mistakenly targeted World Central Kitchen's vehicles, believing they belonged to Hamas. Visibility issues in the dark hindered the identification of aid workers' logos.
