Overview

  • Fifteen Palestinian aid workers were killed by Israeli forces on March 23 in southern Gaza, with their bodies later buried in a shallow grave.
  • An Israeli military investigation cited 'operational misunderstanding,' poor night visibility, and breaches of orders as key factors in the killings.
  • A deputy commander has been dismissed, and a brigade commander reprimanded for their roles in the incident and subsequent reporting failures.
  • Cellphone footage contradicted initial Israeli claims, showing ambulances with emergency lights flashing at the time of the attack.
  • The investigation's findings, which deny allegations of execution or concealment, have been referred to the Military Advocate General for potential charges.
