Killing of paramedic by Israel was ‘deliberate’ says Palestinian Red Crescent

The Palestinian Red Crescent Society said on Thursday that its staff were deliberately targeted by Israeli forces on Wednesday as they carryied out a mission to evacuate a number of wounded people.

Paramedic Mohammed al-Omari was killed as a result, and two of his colleagues were wounded.

“This brings the number of colleagues killed while carrying out their humanitarian work since the beginning of the war on Gaza to 12,” the organisation said.
