An investigation into the deaths of 15 humanitarian workers in Gaza revealed that several were shot multiple times before being buried in a mass grave. The Palestine Red Crescent Society, which lost eight members, reported that nearly all the bodies showed gunshot wounds, with one paramedic found bound.
The UN accused Israel of killing the aid workers, while an Israeli military spokesperson claimed nine of the deceased were militants and that the vehicles were moving suspiciously. The spokesperson stated that Israeli forces did not randomly attack the ambulance.
The incident occurred in Rafah, Gaza, on March 23, when ambulances and a UN vehicle came under attack. The bodies, along with damaged vehicles, were found in a shallow mass grave on Sunday.
The deaths have drawn widespread international condemnation.
