Palestine Red Crescent Society gave new details on Monday on the Israeli attack on its paramedical paramedics and other emergency stakeholders in the Gaza Strip who killed at least 15 people last month, saying that Israeli forces had targeted them in a “series of deliberate attacks”.
Speaking at a press conference in the West Bank, officials of the Red Crescent said that Israeli troops had shot Wave’s rescuers over a period of two hours before dawn on March 23. They called the murders “a full -fledged war crime” and called the United Nations Security Council and the international community to demand responsibility and an independent investigation.
The Israeli army, which admitted to having killed the 15 men, said on Monday that a “preliminary investigation indicated that the troops had opened fire due to a threat perceived following a previous meeting in the region” and it would continue to investigate. He said six of the people killed “were identified as Hamas terrorists”, but have not mentioned any evidence.
The Red Crescent and the United Nations said that the dead were unarmed humanitarian workers who were posing any threats. They said that the men wore their uniforms and rolled in clearly marked emergency vehicles, indicating their emergency lights.
An Israeli military official who informed journalists of the incident on Saturday refused to say if the men were armed.
Also on Monday, an Israeli strike near a hospital in southern Gaza killed two people, including a journalist for the Palestine Today news agency, bringing the number of Palestinian journalists killed in the war at 210, said the Gaza government’s press office. He said the strike also injured nine journalists, including Hassan Aslih, well known for having documented war for hundreds of thousands of followers on social networks.
