Video the moment when the Israeli soldiers draw on 15 paramedics and rescuers in Gaza. Israel acknowledges that mistakes have been made

The Israeli army acknowledged that its soldiers made mistakes in killing 15 emergency services, on March 23, in the south of the gas, reports the BBC. A video obtained from the phone of one of the killed paramedics that show the moment when the Israeli soldiers open the fire on the ambulance convoy.

On the ambulance convoy of the Palestinian red crescent society (PRCS), a UN car and a fire truck from the Civil Defense in Gaza was fired near Rafah.

Initially, Israel claimed that the troops opened the fire as the convoy approached “suspicious” in the dark, without light headlamps or signals. The movement of the vehicles had not been coordinated or agreed by the army.

A filming published by the Palestinian red crescent shows that the vehicles had the lights on when they responded to help the injured people – before being attacked. The red crescent says that the video recording was obtained from the phone of a paramedic who was killed.

The video clip shows how the vehicles are moving on the road when, without any warning, the shootings begin, just before the sunrise.

Filming continues for more than five minutes, and the paramedic, identified as Refat Radwan, is heard as he says his last prayers, before the voices of Israeli soldiers are heard approaching vehicles.

What Israel says

Israel's defense forces (IDF) insist that at least six of the doctors had links with Hamas, but has not yet presented evidence. IDF recognizes that they were unarmed when the soldiers opened the fire.

An official of the IDF informed journalists on Saturday night, stating that the soldiers had previously fired on a car in which there were three Hamas members.

When the ambulances responded and approached the area, the air surveillance monitors informed the soil soldiers about the convoy that “advance suspicious”.

When the ambulances stopped near the Hamas car, the soldiers assumed they were threatened and opened the fire, despite the fact that they had no evidence that a person in the emergency crew was armed.

Israel admitted that his previous reports, in which he claimed that the vehicles approached without lights, were inaccurate, attributing them to the soldiers involved.

The video images show that the vehicles were visibly marked and that the paramedics wore reflective uniforms.

The soldiers buried the bodies of the 15 employees killed in the sand to protect them from wild animals, the official said, claiming that the vehicles were moved and buried the next day, to release the road.

They were discovered only one week after the incident, because international agencies, including UN, could not ensure safe access to the area or identify the place.

When a help team found the bodies, he also discovered his mobile phone Refat Radwan, containing the filming of the incident.
