The United States has issued a strong call for Israel to conduct a thorough investigation into allegations that its airstrikes in Gaza have led to the deaths of aid workers. This demand comes on the heels of profound anger over the recent death of Ahmad Faisal Isleem Al-Qadi, a 39-year-old staff member of Save the Children, in an airstrike in Khan Younis on Saturday.

State Department deputy spokesperson Vedant Patel expressed the U.S.'s outrage regarding the incident and highlighted the necessity for more details from the Israel Defense Forces (IDF). "We are outraged, and we are wanting more information about this incident," Patel remarked, pressing the IDF to deliver additional clarity surrounding the tragic events.

The U.S. insists that Israel must conduct a transparent and comprehensive investigation into the incident and take necessary actions within their system. The plea signifies the Washington's commitment to ensuring accountability in the face of such actions.
