”The aid workers were killed when their convoy was hit shortly after they oversaw the unloading of 100 tons of food brought to Gaza by sea. Israel’s military expressed “severe sorrow” over the incident and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called it unintentional.Andres’ interview comes as the family of Australian aid worker Zomi Frankcom throw their support behind an investigation into whether the Israeli soldiers responsible for her death should be charged with war crimes.
