Israel makes u-turn in Gaza medic killings story after video reveals deadly attack

Published on April 06, 2025 at 12:45 PM

Israel's army has now admitted its soldiers made mistakes in the death of 15 emergency workers in southern Gaza on March 23.

A convoy that included Palestinian Red Crescent Society, PRCS, ambulances, a United Nations, UN, car and a fire truck from Gaza's Civil Defence came under fire near Rafah.

Israel had originally claimed troops opened fire because the convoy approached “suspiciously” in darkness without headlights or flashing lights.

It also claimed that the movement of the vehicles had not been previously co-ordinated or agreed with the army.

However, mobile phone footage, which is believed to be filmed by one of the paramedics who was killed, showed the vehicles had their lights on as they travelled to help wounded people.

The footage is over five minutes and the paramedic named Refat Radwan could be heard saying his last prayers, before the voices of Israeli soldiers are heard approaching the vehicles.

The soldiers buried the bodies of the 15 dead workers in sand while the vehicles were moved and buried the next day to clear the road.

They were not uncovered until a week after the incident because international agencies, including the UN, could not organise safe passage to the area or locate the spot.

When an aid team found the bodies they also discovered Refat Radwan's mobile phone containing footage of the incident.

Israel has admitted its earlier account claiming the vehicles approached without lights was inaccurate, attributing the report to the troops involved.
