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.
