Just after theyd unloaded food aid at a warehouse they are now suspending its operations in gaza. The Israeli Military says its conducting a review into the incident. The seven workers are from australia, britain, poland, a us canadian dual citizen, as well as a palestinian. World leaders and Foreign Ministers are pressing israel to clarify the circumstances surrounding their deaths. Our correspondent injerusalem, yolande knell, begins our coverage. There were no survivors. Cars and aid convoy were hit directly. Even with the world Central Kitchen logos clearly displayed, and, the us charity says, prior Co Ordination with the Israeli Military.

These rarely government clarifies as soon as possible the circumstances of these brutal attacks. Unfortunately in the last day, there was a tragic case of our forces, unintentionally hitching innocent people in the gaza strip to out of the way of all things as well to investigate what happened to us gently. Because clearly there were questions that need to be on also, on the day concerns over an escalation of violence in the middle east. I suspected that is reading the attack on an iranian come to the building in damascus. Killed several of the senior generals in irans revolution. We got the alarm by the alleged is early strike on your any and diplomatic building in the syrian capital, into my schools and to target think of the consulate to actually reach his diploma at the facility.
