Israeli soldiers ambushed and killed 15 emergency rescue workers in Gaza last month

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) have admitted that their account of the killing of 15 Palestinian paramedics and rescue workers in Gaza was incorrect, multiple media outlets reported on Saturday, citing the preliminary findings of a probe into the incident.

On March 23, a group of soldiers near Rafah fired at a convoy of Palestinian Red Crescent Society ambulances, a UN car, and a fire truck from Gaza’s Civil Defense.

The IDF claimed at the time that the convoy was traveling in the darkness with their lights off. 

On Saturday, the New York Times released a cellphone video proving that the ambulances were clearly marked and had their headlights turned on, and that the paramedics wore reflective gear when they were fired upon in Rafah’s Tel Sultan neighborhood.
