Overview

• An Israeli military investigation into the March 23 killing of 15 Gaza emergency service personnel concluded there was no indiscriminate fire but identified significant professional failures.
• The probe led to the dismissal of a deputy field commander for breaches of orders and providing an incomplete and inaccurate report on the incident.
• Six of the 15 killed were retrospectively identified by the military as Hamas militants, while the IDF expressed regret for harm caused to uninvolved civilians.
• The incident, which occurred near Rafah, involved aid workers responding to distress calls and has been met with international condemnation and allegations of potential war crimes.
• Video evidence and autopsy reports from independent organizations continue to challenge the military's account, raising questions about transparency and accountability.
