Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Israel is responsible for the deadly attack on aid workers in the Gaza Strip in a statement on Tuesday.

He called it a "tragic case of an unintentional strike" by Israeli forces on "innocent people," in a video message posted on X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter.

Israel is in contact with the governments of the people who were killed and would do everything so that such an incident does not happen again, Netanyahu said.

Seven World Central Kitchen (WCK) employees were killed in the airstrike on the Gaza Strip on Monday despite having coordinated with the Israel Defense Forces (IDF).
