called the killings a grave mistake and said the convoy of three vehicles was wrongly identified as hostile targets. we get more now from cbs's holly williams. >> so this was not just bad luck, situation where, "oops, we dropped a bomb in the wrong place." >> reporter: the seven world central kitchen aid workers killed by israel's military in gaza were targeted systematically, car by car, according to the group's founder, the award-winning spanish-american chef jose andres. speaking on israeli television, he broke down. >> i've been in gaza myself. i meant some of the people that died were... were my friends. and i served with them.

>> reporter: the bodies of the six foreign team members were transported out of gaza today. world central kitchen has identified one of them as jacob flickinger, a 33-year-old dual u.s.-canadian citizen. israel's military has vowed to investigate what it called a "grave mistake." >> it was a mistake that followed a misidentification. at night, during a war, in very complex conditions. >> reporter: that suggests the aid workers were mistaken for militants. but world central kitchen says it was coordinating its movements with the israeli military. andres says his team tried to call the military, even as they came under fire, with team members moving from the first car after was hit, to the second, which was also hit, and then the third, leaving all seven dead. all three cars appear to have been targeted with precision strikes.

cbs news has geolocated the wreckage to positions several hundred yards apart. president biden said yesterday he's outraged by the deaths of the aid workers and u.s. relations with israel appear increasingly strained. but he didn't answer this question today from cbs news weijia jiang. >> responsible for the world central kitchen strike, mr. president? >> reporter: it's not just world central kitchen that suspended its operations in gaza. another american nonprofit, anera, says it's also pausing its work there, and the united nations says it has temporarily suspended its movements at night. norah? >> norah: so much aid not getting to the people there. holly williams, thank you. well, we learned today

aid because israel is still the closest u.s. ally in the region and because the security of israel has been a top u.s. priority for decades. now, we are seeing rising anger in congress, particularly from the left, after this latest tragedy, norah, so could that make it harder to get congress to approve aid to israel in the future? absolutely. >> norah: nancy cordes at the white house, thank you. a massive search-and-rescue effort is underway in taiwan following its most powerful earthquake in 25 years. the magnitude 7.4 quake hit during the morning rush hour. at least nine people are dead, with about a thousand people injured. dozens more are trapped by debris. cbs's imtiaz tyab has the late-breaking developments. dozens more are trapped by debris. earthquake struck was captured as a morning show was live on air. shaking heavy studio lights, as panic jolted through the newsroom. rush-hour commuters were also caught off guard by the 7.4
