A shocking cell phone video has emerged, showing the moment when a convoy of ambulances and emergency vehicles was attacked in Gaza, resulting in the deaths of 15 workers. The incident, which took place on March 23, 2025, in Rafah, southern Gaza, involved Israeli forces firing on the clearly marked vehicles, contradicting previous claims by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) that the ambulances were not properly identified.
The footage shows ambulances with visible emergency markings and flashing lights, challenging Israeli assertions that the vehicles were mistaken for militant ones. Among those killed were eight members of the Palestine Red Crescent Society, six civil defense workers, and a United Nations employee.
In the aftermath, the bodies of the victims were discovered in a mass grave, some showing signs of execution-style killings. This tragic event has sparked international outrage, with calls for an independent investigation into the attack and for accountability regarding the targeting of medical and aid workers in Gaza.
The incident has drawn attention to ongoing concerns about the violation of international humanitarian law during the conflict.
