Autopsies Confirm Execution-Style Killings of Gaza Paramedics by Israeli Forces

Forensic findings reveal gunshot wounds and explosive injuries, prompting renewed demands for an independent war crimes investigation.

Overview

  • Autopsies of 14 paramedics killed in Gaza on March 23 show gunshot wounds to the head and torso, with evidence of explosive bullets causing severe injuries.
  • The UN and Palestinian Red Crescent accuse Israeli forces of executing the workers and burying their bodies in a mass grave alongside crushed emergency vehicles.
  • Video evidence contradicts initial Israeli military claims that the convoy was moving suspiciously without lights, showing clearly marked ambulances with lights on.
  • Israel has launched an internal investigation but denies war crime allegations, while maintaining claims—without evidence—that some victims were Hamas operatives.
  • Calls for an independent international inquiry grow as Gaza faces a worsening humanitarian crisis under Israel's ongoing blockade of essential aid supplies.
