Israel’s army has now acknowledged that its soldiers made mistakes in the deaths of 15 emergency workers in southern Gaza on March 23.

The convoy, which included ambulances from the Palestinian Red Crescent Society (PRCS), a United Nations vehicle, and a fire truck from Gaza’s Civil Defence, came under fire near Rafah.

Initially, Israel claimed that its troops fired on the convoy because it approached “suspiciously” in the dark without headlights or flashing lights. They also stated that the movement of the vehicles had not been coordinated with the army in advance.

However, mobile phone footage believed to have been recorded by one of the paramedics who died—showed the vehicles had their lights on as they were heading to assist the wounded.

The footage, which lasts over five minutes, captured paramedic Refat Radwan praying his last prayers before the voices of Israeli soldiers were heard approaching the vehicles.

The soldiers buried the bodies of the 15 workers in sand, moved the vehicles, and covered them the following day to clear the road. The bodies were not uncovered until a week later due to difficulties in arranging safe access to the site by international agencies, including the UN.

When an aid team eventually located the bodies, they also found Refat Radwan’s mobile phone, which contained the footage of the incident.

Israel has since admitted that its previous claim that the vehicles were moving without lights was inaccurate, attributing the false report to the soldiers involved.
