IDF unit involved in killing of Palestinian paramedics led by general with ‘contempt for human life’ | Israel

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) unit responsible for the deaths of 15 Palestinian paramedics and rescue workers in Gaza last month was commanded by a controversial general, Brig Gen Yehuda Vach, who has faced accusations of endangering lives and promoting a “kill zone” mentality. Golani Brigade troops opened fire on ambulances during an attack in Rafah, later burying the victims in a mass grave, while military intelligence operatives from Unit 504 were allegedly present. The IDF has disputed claims of the paramedics being armed and has launched a new investigation following contradictory evidence.
