Mobile phone footage has emerged that seems to question Israel’s explanation of a deadly March 23rd 2025, incident in Rafah, Gaza, where 15 Palestinian paramedics and rescue workers were killed.
Released by the Palestine Red Crescent Society (PRCS) and filmed by Rifat Radwan—one of the fallen—the video shows lit ambulances and a fire truck moments before gunfire cuts through the night.
In Rafah’s Tel al-Sultan district, the footage shows the vehicles halting roadside, emergency signals glaring, as two workers step out—then shots shatter the scene. The toll: eight PRCS paramedics, six civil defense members, and one UN staffer, their bodies later unearthed from a shallow grave after days of talks, as per The Guardian.
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) claim they fired on “suspicious vehicles” lacking clearance, moving toward troops without lights. The illuminated convoy contradicts this, prompting an IDF vow to investigate: “All evidence will be examined”.
The attack struck after a ceasefire collapsed, targeting a team aiding civilians. The video heightens global scrutiny, laying bare the grave risks to Gaza’s aid workers, as the IDF’s investigation faces intense oversight
