Bethan McKernan – The Guardian April 5, 2025
Mobile phone footage of the last moments of some of the 15 Palestinian paramedics and rescue workers killed by Israeli forces in an incident in Gaza last month appears to contradict the version of events put forward by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF).
The almost seven-minute video, which the Palestine Red Crescent Society (PRCS) said on Saturday was recovered from the phone of Rifat Radwan, one of the men killed, appears to have been filmed from inside a moving vehicle. It shows a red fire engine and clearly marked ambulances driving at night, using headlights and flashing emergency lights.
The vehicle stops beside another that has driven off the road. Two men get out to examine the stopped vehicle, and then gunfire erupts before the screen goes black.
The Israeli military has said its soldiers “did not randomly attack” any ambulances, insisting they fired on “terrorists” approaching them in “suspicious vehicles”.
Lt Col Nadav Shoshani, a military spokesperson, said troops opened fire on vehicles that had no prior clearance to enter the area, and were driving with their lights off.
The IDF said on Saturday that the incident was still under investigation and that “all claims, including the documentation circulated about the incident, will be thoroughly and deeply examined to understand the sequence of events and the handling of the situation”.
Late on Saturday, Reuters cited an anonymous Israeli military official as telling journalists that the initial account of the vehicles not having emergency lights on was mistaken.
Fifteen Palestinian paramedics and rescue workers, including at least one UN employee, were killed in the incident in Rafah on 23 March, in which the UN says Israeli forces shot the men “one by one” and then buried them in a mass grave.
According to the UN humanitarian affairs office (Ocha), the PRCS and civil defence workers were on a mission to rescue colleagues who had been shot at earlier in the day, when their clearly marked vehicles came under heavy Israeli fire in Rafah’s Tel al-Sultan district.
A Red Crescent official in Gaza said there was evidence of at least one person being detained and killed, as the body of one of the dead had been found with his hands tied.
The shootings happened one day into the renewed Israeli offensive in the area close to the Egyptian border after the breakdown of a two-month ceasefire between Israel and Hamas. Another Red Crescent worker on the mission is still reported missing.

Youth Demand pro-Palestinian protest blocks traffic in London
Story by Aneesa Ahmed • A huge march by Youth Demand protesters were told to move on
by the police during a pro-Palestinian rally in central London on Saturday.
The campaigners began gathering at Lincoln’s Inn Fields on Saturday morning and made their way to King’s Cross station.
The action is part of Youth Demand’s plans for demonstrations every Tuesday and Saturday in April. Some protesters held banners which read “Stop arming Israel” and ” stop isreali terrorism” while others let off green flares before being moved along by the Metropolitan police.
Many were just teenagers, but felt strongly about the genocide.
lets hear from Nico X
Hmmm, The ((( Guardian ))) AND ((( Reuters ))) spilling the beans on the murderous kikes. What gives???
Two women British Labour MPs, one of Asian extraction the other Middle East, were turned back from Ben Gurion airport by security forces after travelling to Israel on parliamentary business. Israel said they planned to document security force activity and spread anti-Israel messages. So why give them visas in the first place then? As if Starmer hasn’t done enough for Israel against his own people’s wishes.
I suspect this is in response to recent messages from the British Labour government which seem to voice growing unease at Israel’s continued genocide. It could also have racism at its root, because it’s not clear if these were the only two (with aides) who attended; or if others were attending and allowed to continue without these two; or if their aides were turned away also or had the choice to continue (again, race).

This talmud evil cult and that of course includes the terrorists IDF, Likud gang and the biggest terrorist of them all – nutyahoo, drumpt, and adelson among others. This cult always projects what they are unto others. Yes, cult you are mostly all imposters and occupiers of Palestine. Factually, there were only around 60,000 so called jews living in Palestine around before 1948 and around 600,000 indigenous Palestinians. Cult you are nomads that originated mostly from Turkey, Babylon and the Sogdian lands. Stop robbing countries of their wealth and thus their lands. Noticed, how the criminal nutyahoo in his gang like speeches refers to the Palestinians as Muslims/terrorists and not Arabs as not to offend the cowardly OPEC countries who are all Arabs. Arabs include the tribal Arab Mishari Jews from Iraq who moved to israehell literatly by brutal intimidation as a way to to populate israell since it was literally empty of so called jews. Noticed how the talmud cult never mentions the Mishari Arabs jews. Live in peace with others nutyahoo and its followers.
We do not need to hear anything Israel says. It will be a lie. Within a lie. Within a lie.
“…appears…”? Why even put that word into the title? That’s as bad as Israel’s use of “mistake”.
Or, that Israel will open an investigation. On and on.
What a blight upon the world. What a blight upon America. Even worse, of course than blight, is what the International Zionist Conglomerate and its partners have done and continue to do to thousands and thousands of its victims.
