The Israeli military attributed the killing of 15 emergency workers in Gaza on March 23 to an “operational misunderstanding” and a “breach of orders,” following an IDF inquiry that identified several failings, including the dismissal of a deputy commander for submitting an inaccurate report. Initial claims of suspicious vehicle movement were later contradicted by video evidence showing ambulances with emergency lights, while the IDF stated six casualties were Hamas members but did not provide evidence. International organizations have called for an independent investigation into the incident, amid ongoing violence in Gaza following Israel’s military operations against Hamas.
