Bodies of Missing Gaza Paramedics Recovered Amid Allegations of Ambulance Misuse

The remains of 14 individuals, including eight paramedics, were found in Rafah as Israeli military and Palestinian groups trade accusations over the use of emergency vehicles.

• The Palestinian Red Crescent Society (PRCS) confirmed the recovery of 14 bodies in Rafah, including eight paramedics, five civil defense workers, and one UN staff member.
• The paramedics went missing after reportedly coming under heavy fire from Israeli soldiers in southern Gaza last week.
• The Israeli military stated that vehicles, including ambulances, approached their troops suspiciously, leading to gunfire, and alleged misuse of ambulances for terrorism by Hamas and PIJ.
• The Israeli military has not commented on the fate of the paramedics, and independent verification of claims from both sides remains unavailable.
• Search efforts for additional bodies in Rafah continue as the humanitarian crisis in Gaza worsens and international calls for a ceasefire grow louder.
