NNA - The Israeli military vowed Tuesday to hold an investigation into an air strike that killed seven aid workers in Gaza, saying they would "share our findings transparently".

"We will be opening a probe to examine this serious incident further. This will help us reduce the risk of such an event from occurring again," military spokesman Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari said in a video statement.

He said he had expressed the military's "deepest condolences" to celebrity chef Jose Andres, the founder of the US-based World Central Kitchen (WCK) aid group that the victims were working for.

Hagari said the probe would be carried out by the Fact-Finding and Assessment Mechanism. -- AFP
