New video evidence contradicts Israeli army's account of medic killings

New video evidence relating to the Israeli forces' killing of 15 Palestine Red Crescent and civil defence workers emerged on Saturday.

The footage, which was retrieved from a phone belonging to one of the medics who was killed and buried in a mass gave, shows the Israeli military attacking clearly marked Red Crescent ambulances with lights flashing, and emergency medical workers wearing reflective vests.

The new evidence contradicts the Israeli army's account of the incident which claimed that the emergency vehicles “were identified advancing suspiciously toward [Israeli] troops without headlights or emergency signals”.

Gaza's government media office said in a statement that the revelations “expose the lies of the Israeli occupation army” and has demanded an independent international investigation into the killings.
