As far as I know this was the result of the IDF's own investigation so there's some conflict of interest

That turned out not to be true.

Here's the latest Wikipedia entry on the event: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Central_Kitchen_aid_conv...

Wikipedia is not reliable on the I/P conflict

I would not trust a Wikipedia entry to be correct.

Oh wait, except that's not true.

Retired Maj Gen Yoav Har-Even described how the IDF's drone operators mistook an aid worker carrying a bag for a gunman, and then targeted one of the World Central Kitchen vehicles with a missile.

The IDF then described how two people escaped that vehicle and got into a second car, which was hit by another missile from a drone.

The military confirmed that there were survivors from the second explosion, who managed to get into the third vehicle - which was then also hit by a missile.

By the end, all the aid workers were dead.

Agreed that bombing the 1st vehicle of aid workers was a mistake. Then bombing the 2nd vehicle was a mistake, and the 3rd vehicle bombing was also a mistake.

In Dec 1 in 8 WCK workers were fired for Hamas ties

Even your link calls out that one of the vehicles that split from the convoy was carrying armed gunmen.

Sorry but there's zero point in providing justification for this. Even the IDF said "it was a mistake that followed a misidentification" and that it "it shouldn’t have happened" [1]. Everyone's in agreement on this point.

It was “probably wrong” to kill 7 people in 3 different vehicles? How about when they did it again later in the year, and killed another 5 WCK workers? Crazy how it just kept happening.
