Israeli Military Probes Gaza Incident

The Israeli military is investigating a Gaza incident where emergency workers died. A spokesperson denied it was an execution, stating the probe is now under a general staff mechanism to ensure accountability if necessary.

The Israeli military has initiated an investigative process following a controversial incident in Gaza where several emergency and aid workers lost their lives, according to a military spokesperson on Thursday.

Dismissing the use of the term 'execution' to describe the event, the spokesperson emphasized the impartiality of the investigation by transferring it to a general staff mechanism beyond the regular chain of command.

The aim is to ascertain the facts and, if warranted, hold accountable any individuals involved in the incident.
