Israeli Military Admits to Targeting Ambulances in Gaza, Drawing Global Condemnation

The military cited suspicions of terrorist use, while Hamas and the UN decry the attack as a violation of international law.

The Israeli military confirmed targeting ambulances in Gaza's Tal al-Sultan neighborhood, claiming they were deemed 'suspicious' after earlier clashes with Hamas militants.
A preliminary investigation revealed that some of the targeted vehicles were ambulances and fire trucks, with the military accusing Hamas of exploiting such vehicles for terrorism.
The attack resulted in the death of at least one rescuer, with 14 others missing, according to Gaza's Civil Defense and the Red Crescent.
Hamas condemned the incident as a 'war crime,' while the United Nations called for international action to enforce adherence to humanitarian law.
The humanitarian crisis in Gaza continues to worsen as military operations intensify, with significant civilian casualties and restricted aid access.
