For the record; Israeli forces shot dead 15 emergency responders

Acting with impunity….

Watch: The Palestinian Red Crescent said this video was found on the phone of a paramedic who was killed

Israel recently killed health workers in Gaza. On March 23, 2025, Israeli forces shot dead 15 emergency responders, including eight from the Palestine Red Crescent Society, in a convoy of ambulances near Rafah, Gaza. The incident has sparked international outrage and demands for an independent investigation, as it appears to contradict Israel’s initial claims that the vehicles were moving suspiciously without lights. Video footage recovered from one of the victims shows the ambulances were clearly marked with flashing emergency lights, challenging Israel’s narrative[1][2][3].

Israel has acknowledged mistakes in the incident and is conducting an investigation, though it maintains that some of the medics had ties to Hamas, a claim it has not substantiated[2][5]. Amnesty International and other organizations have called for an independent and impartial investigation, emphasizing that attacks on medical personnel are prohibited under international law[3][4].
