5:02 pm
yeah. when decatur to president biden is, israel would be making further changes to his procedures to make sure that those who are providing assistance to people who so desperately need it and gaza are protected. so we're going to be looking very carefully at what those steps are, how it achieves better. deacon function, better coordination. so that aid workers are protected. asked me blinking there and our correspondent rebecca rivers and jerusalem has more on the results of the investigation. a will play these, the results came out just a few hours ago here in israel, from the military, from that so cold, the independent investigation though it is an internal investigation done by a separate branch within the is really a military. and the basically identified that this, these strikes were carried out in serious violation of military prior to gall protocol. and it says that we carried out, ju, to miss identification. that in fact, the, the military felt that there was
5:03 pm
a threat. they felt that somebody thought that they saw a gunman on this humanitarian con boy, that was going uh, this was earlier before the firing actually happened. that was going to this warehouse. and they thought that that gunman then proceeded to go with this convoy . and that's, of course why they're saying that the, the convoy was been fired upon, you know, we, as we know from the reporting of the incident of the, the convoy was fired upon the 1st call. the 1st a vehicle was fired upon and the people tried the people that were still living with trying to get out go to the 2nd and the 3rd and i work, you know, it was continually fired at so that is being identified as a miss identification and in and in direct violation of military procedure, as you've mentioned, we've got to a senior military personnel has been dismissed and of some have been reprimanded, including the head of the southern come on, that looks off to the military. that,

5:05 pm
a separate unit in the army. the world central kitchen say that the apologies for these outrages killings, as they say, a represent cold come set and in fact, they're cooling for more to be done. we've also heard from the un who is encouraging, urging israel to allow an independent investigation. and as you heard that from secretary blinking, it could what well be that the us also cool for an independent investigation though they are reviewing this current investigation before they make any comments towards that. but certainly the pressure on israel is growing and you know, we can say that the, the results of this investigation may not satisfy many, many people to rebecca raters for us earlier. so following us pressure, israel has announced the temporary opening of a border crossing to allow aiden to gaza on thursday. washington warrants the continued support for the war depends on israel, taken measurable steps to protect civilians. the opening of the arrows crossing
