An Israeli military investigation into the killing of 15 Palestinian emergency workers in Gaza admitted to operational mistakes leading to their deaths, resulting in the dismissal of a field commander. Despite acknowledging these errors, the probe found no evidence of “indiscriminate fire” and stated six of the deceased were identified as Hamas militants, although no weapons were found. The incident, which drew international condemnation and allegations of possible war crimes, revealed that troops misidentified vehicles and failed to report the events accurately, with claims of execution being rejected by the military.
