New video evidence emerges regarding the murder of 15 Palestinian rescuers by Israeli forces, contradicting Israeli accounts of attacks on Rafa’s medical forces.
The footage, which was obtained from a phone belonging to one of the murdered medical professionals, shows Israeli forces attacking a clearly marked red crescent ambulance with emergency lights on, showing emergency medical workers wearing reflex vests.
Officials with the Palestinian Red Crescent Association said at a press conference at the UN headquarters on Friday that they had released a nearly seven-minute recording to the UN Security Council.
On March 23, humanitarian workers went missing after responding to calls for pain from civilians injured in Israeli attacks in Rafa. According to Gaza’s Palestinian civil defense, all contact was lost to contact with them, and Medic was found in mass graves 2-3 meters deep.
“They were killed in uniform. They drive clearly marked cars. They wear gloves. On the way to save lives,” said Jonathan Whittar, head of the United Nations Humanitarian Affairs Bureau in Palestine.
