Israeli Military Investigates Deadly Attack on Gaza Ambulances
The killing of 15 medics and humanitarian workers on March 23, 2025, and the recent discovery of their mass grave, has intensified global criticism and calls for accountability.
- The IDF has launched an investigation into the March 23 incident where its forces fired on ambulances in Rafah, Gaza, killing 15 medics and humanitarian workers.
- The bodies of the victims were discovered in a mass grave on April 2, along with destroyed emergency vehicles, including ambulances and a UN vehicle.
- The IDF claims the ambulances were carrying terrorists and lacked proper coordination, but the Palestinian Red Crescent and Civil Defence dispute this, stating coordination was not required at the time.
- International organizations, including the UN, have condemned the attack, with Secretary-General Antonio Guterres expressing shock over the killings.
- Amid escalating violence and safety concerns, aid organizations face severe challenges in Gaza, with some reconsidering their operations due to a lack of protection and continued attacks.
