Israel fires two after attack on aid convoy

Israel fires two soldiers after the attack on the aid organization World Central Kitchen's convoy, several media reports. Another three employees receive a warning.

The IDF's own investigation shows that a "series of mistakes" led to the attack on the aid convoy. Partly, one of the passengers in the cars must have been wrongly identified as a Hamas member. In part, the shelling of the first vehicle must have been motivated by an individual employee's observation.

The shelling of the other two vehicles must have taken place in violation of the IDF's own rules of engagement.

IDF spokesperson Daniel Hagari said in a statement that the attack was a "tragedy".

- It is a serious incident for which we bear responsibility. It shouldn't have happened, and we will make sure it never happens again.

Seven aid workers who were on their way to deliver food to residents of Gaza were killed in the attack.

CIA chief to Cairo for new Gaza negotiations

CIA director William Burns is expected to go to Egypt on Saturday to negotiate a ceasefire and the release of hostages in Gaza, the Wall Street Journal and New York Times said, citing sources.

In Cairo, Burns is expected to meet Mossad chief David Barnea as well as representatives from Egypt and Qatar. US officials believe hostage negotiations are the only way to bring about a temporary ceasefire in Gaza, according to the New York Times.

In recent weeks, negotiations on breaks in the fighting have been on hold, the newspaper writes.
