IDF reserve Lt.-Colonel Jonathan Conricus, a senior fellow at the FDD, the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, and former international spokesperson for the IDF, said the dichotomy of the tragic, mistaken killing of the aid workers in Gaza juxtaposed with a highly accurate strike against top Iranian generals in Damascus, according to foreign reports, was a challenge for the image of the IDF. He said that the IDF’s acceptance of responsibility for the killing of the aid workers in Gaza needed to be followed up with a transparent inquiry and also possibly accountability.
