Israeli Officer Defends Strike on Aid Workers | Melbourne News
Description
An Israeli officer who ordered the airstrike that killed Australian aid worker Zomi Frankcom and six others in Gaza has defiantly defended his actions, calling the victims “not innocent” and claiming they were “incriminated by association” with Hamas — a statement Australia’s government called “utterly disgraceful.” While Israel’s own investigation labeled the strike a grave mistake and removed the officer, no criminal charges followed. The World Central Kitchen founder fiercely rejected the claims, insisting the aid workers were humanitarians fighting for food as a universal right, and demanding justice and an independent probe. Meanwhile, Australia’s Greens are pushing for real action — halting military exports and imposing sanctions — arguing that hollow condemnations won’t bring accountability or justice for the fallen.
