Some of the World Central Kitchen (WCK) workers who survived the first Israeli strike on their vehicle then fled to other vehicles, before being struck again, an Israel Defense Forces (IDF) spokesperson told CNN.

The IDF on Friday published its report into the strikes that killed seven WCK aid workers in Gaza this week.

An IDF spokesperson shared more details with CNN, confirming some of the aid workers in the first vehicle to be struck survived and fled to the next vehicle in the convoy.

The IDF said it targeted three vehicles in total, "leading to the deaths of seven innocent humanitarian workers."
