Gaza City – The Palestine Red Crescent Society (PRCS) has called for an independent international investigation into Israel’s killing of 15 emergency workers in southern Gaza, labeling the attack a "fully fledged war crime."
The demand comes after the PRCS released disturbing video footage recovered from the phone of one of its eight paramedics killed when Israeli troops opened fire on a convoy of ambulances on March 23.
Key Details of the Incident
Ambulance Convoy Attacked: Israeli forces fired on clearly marked PRCS ambulances transporting wounded civilians.
15 Emergency Workers Killed: Eight paramedics and seven other medical staff were among the dead.
Video Evidence Released: The footage shows the moments before the attack, with no signs of combatants in the area.
The PRCS has condemned the attack, stating it violates international humanitarian law and constitutes a war crime.
PRCS Statement: "Deliberate Targeting of Medics"
In a strongly worded statement, the PRCS said:
"This was not a mistake. Our ambulances were clearly marked, and the team was on a humanitarian mission. The killing of medical personnel is a war crime, and we demand accountability."
The organization has called for:
✅ An independent international investigation
✅ Legal action against those responsible
✅ Immediate protection for medical teams in Gaza
Israel’s Response: Claims of "Perceived Threat"
The Israeli military released a statement Monday, claiming:
"A preliminary inquiry indicates troops opened fire due to a perceived threat following a previous encounter in the area. Six of those killed were identified as Hamas terrorists."
However, no evidence was provided to support these claims.
International Reactions
United Nations: Calls for an immediate ceasefire and investigation into potential war crimes.
Human Rights Watch: Accuses Israel of systematically targeting medical personnel.
Doctors Without Borders: Condemns the attack, calling it "unjustifiable."
