Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu addressed an Israeli strike that killed seven aid workers in Gaza on Tuesday.
Netanyahu called the event “tragic” in his statement, delivered just moments after he was discharged from the hospital following hernia surgery.
“Unfortunately, on the last day, there was a tragic event of our forces unintentionally hitting innocent people in the Gaza Strip,” Netanyahu said. “This happens in war; we are checking thoroughly, we are in contact with the governments, and we will do everything to prevent this from happening again.”
Netanyahu also gave an update on his health, thanking the doctors who performed the surgery at Hadassah Ein Kerem Hospital.
“I would like to thank Professor Pikarsky and the wonderful medical staff of the Hadassah Ein Kerem Hospital, who performed a successful hernia operation on me. I would also like to thank you, the multitudes of citizens of Israel, for sending your wishes for recovery. I’m recovering. Thank you,” Netanyahu said
