again. of nearly $200.00 humanitarian aid workers have died in gaza strip attacks since october 7th, according to the un. and as the war news is 6 months, mach, several agencies want that mold and off is garza's. population is on the brink of famine. correspondent rebecca rivers and jerusalem told us more about israel's inquiry into the strike that killed 7 aid workers. on monday, the results came out just a few hours ago here in israel, from the military, from that uh, so cold independent investigation though it is an internal investigation done by a separate branch within the is really a military. and the basically identified this, these strikes were carried out in serious violation of military prior to goal protocol. and it says that we carried out ju, to mr. identification. that in fact, the, the military thought that there was

a threat. they thought that somebody sort of a saw a gunman on this humanitarian convoy 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, the, 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, we're trying to get out, go to the 2nd and the 3rd and they work, you know, it was continually fired at so that is being identified of the miss identification and in and in direct violation of military procedure, as you've mentioned, we've got to 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 is

basically carrying out the operation in guns a. it also says that this is a breakdown and the chain has come on. but we've been reporting on this week from internal a tunnel reporting that's been done here in israel. my magazine called at 972 plus 972, that they're in fact is a, is a growth breakdown of the china of come on in the military. and it has been throughout this, in fact, that a machinery has been you to identify targets. and in fact, there is very little in way of china of come on. so if that is indeed confirmed that could potentially go some way to explaining how something like this could happen earlier, i spoke to aaron david miller at the carnegie endowment for international peace. i asked him if the us had forced as well to change its position on letting more aid into gaza. i think the ministrations view and the situation their willingness. i think you may get unmistakably clear that unless certain policies pertaining to humanitarian assistance will change,

then the ministration of all they haven't done publicly articulated what the or else would be. i think the ministration hinted that there could be a serious costs and the consequences impose and the government of this room. and i think the prime minister understood that he pushed is a political campaign hoping to run against the united states. us pressure too far in the president who doesn't want an open breach with the prime minister essentially put the electron, you know, on probations and gave him a test that i think should be relatively easy for the user at least to, to pass months ago. they could have improved. so focusing on facilitating humanitarian assistance as a priority. they didn't, as i, and as
