A harrowing video has emerged from Gaza, exposing what Palestinians are calling a cold-blooded execution of 15 aid workers by Israeli forces in Rafah. The footage, discovered on the phone of a slain paramedic, shows clearly marked ambulances and emergency personnel under fire, their flashing lights illuminating a scene that contradicts Israel’s official account.

The victims—paramedics, civil defence workers, and a UN employee—were not combatants. They were unarmed humanitarians, trapped in Rafah’s Tel Sultan neighbourhood on 23 March. Their bodies were found buried in sand days later, some partially decomposed, in a mass grave alongside the phone that captured their final moments.

This video, verified by international media, directly challenges claims by the Israeli military that the vehicles had approached “suspiciously.” In reality, those vehicles were conducting rescue missions in a besieged area where medical access has all but collapsed under constant bombardment.

Palestinian authorities and humanitarian organisations have called the killings a war crime. For Gaza’s exhausted rescue teams, this tragedy is not isolated—it is part of a wider pattern of impunity, where even emergency workers are hunted down while the world watches in silence.

As the dust settles over yet another massacre, Palestinians ask: how many more will die before the international community stops offering statements and starts demanding justice?
