Three vehicles were attacked on Monday, killing three Britons alongside an American-Canadian dual citizen, and workers from Poland, Palestine and Australia.

The IDF said a preliminary report into the attacks found the killings to be "in serious violation" of military procedure and confirmed that several high-ranking officials have been dismissed as a result.

"Following a misidentification by the forces, the forces targeted the three WCK vehicles based on the misclassification of the event and misidentification of the vehicles as having Hamas operatives inside them, with the resulting strike leading to the deaths of seven innocent humanitarian aid workers."Those who approved the strike were "convinced that they were targeting armed Hamas operatives and not WCK employees", the report said.

"We demand the creation of an independent commission to investigate the killings of our WCK colleagues. The IDF cannot credibly investigate its own failure in Gaza," the charity said in a statement.
