IDF clears soldiers over Gaza strike that killed Australian Zomi Frankcom
The Israel Defense Forces has cleared its personnel of any criminal wrongdoing in the April 2024 strike on a World Central Kitchen convoy in Gaza that killed Australian woman Zomi Frankcom. The decision follows the investigation into the incident, which resulted in Frankcom's death during the convoy strike. ABC News reported the clearance of IDF personnel. The finding means the military will not pursue criminal charges against those involved in the operation linked to the World Central Kitchen vehicle hit in April 2024. Frankcom’s nationality and the convoy’s connection to World Central Kitchen were central to international attention on the incident.
