The Justice Department in Poland has launched an investigation into the death of aid worker Damian Soból, who was affiliated with World Central Kitchen. A convoy belonging to the American aid organization was hit by an Israeli attack earlier this week. Soból and six others were killed. "We have launched an investigation into Soból's death between April 1 and 2 in Gaza as a result of an Israeli attack with explosives," said the prosecutor in Przemyśl, the town in southeastern Poland where Soból was from. The 35-year-old man was the only Pole killed in the attack. The BBC writes that the mayor of Przemyśl was able to identify him on images as one of the victims. Soból was in Gaza providing meals to Palestinians.

The death of the seven volunteers has caused diplomatic tensions between Israel and several Western allies. Polish Prime Minister Tusk lashed out at his Israeli counterpart on X today. He did so after Netanyahu declared that the convoy was unintentionally targeted and such things "just happen in times of war." "Since Oct. 7, the majority of Poles have consistently shown solidarity with Israel," Tusk wrote. "But today that solidarity is very much put to the test." Tusk described the furious reaction in his country to Netanyahu's remarks as "understandable."

The Israeli army acknowledges that it made "a big mistake" by killing seven employees of the NGO World Central Kitchen (WCK) in an attack in the Gaza Strip. "It is a mistake due to poor nighttime identification, during a war, in very complex circumstances," General Herzi Halevi said in a video message. "It should not have happened." "We share with all our hearts the grief of the families and of all of World Central Kitchen," Halevi said. "An independent body will investigate the event in detail and will report its findings in the coming days."
