Red Crescent Doctors Shot in the Back of the Head

“ They still had their Crescent uniforms on and had bullet holes in their foreheads. Whoever fired aimed well,” Dr. Ahmad Al-Farra, 55, head of Pediatrics at Nasser Hospital in Khan Yunis, told Repubblica.
Yesterday a video published by the New York Times contradicts the official version given by the Israeli Army that initially said they had found themselves in front of suspicious individuals and without any obvious identifying signs. The IDF later admitted it was wrong and opened an investigation.
Interviewed by Italian journalist Fabio Tonacci, the medical witness who was the first to see the bodies of the paramedics found in the mass grave dug not far from the place where the ambulances and other vehicles of the rescue convoy were attacked on March 30.
He is the one who made an initial analysis of the bodies. “For me there is little doubt, it was an execution. They killed them even though they knew they were humanitarian workers,” he said.
The news was reported last night by RAI News, which mixed it in with the many updates on the genocide in Palestine without giving it the prominence it deserved.
Bodies Tied Up in Mass Grave
The health worker explained the reasons that led him to speak of an “execution”: “ I saw that three bodies had the marks of the nooses on their wrists. Someone had tied their hands before shooting them. When they took them to the hospital they still had their Crescent uniforms on, how can you be wrong? They shot them deliberately,” he said.
Similar executions with beheadings of refugees had already been discovered in recent months in the mass graves of Khan Yunis.
“From the state they were in, it was clear that about 7 days had passed since they died. They had a lot of sand on them because they were buried in a sort of mass grave. They certainly didn’t die in an air raid, all the wounds I saw were from gunshots.”
And there is a survivor, the only one of the massacres, who however says: “No, I think he is afraid to speak again, he fears reprisals for his family who are in Gaza”.
UN Envoy Confirms Crime: “A Doctor Beheaded”
The Palestinian doctor’s version was confirmed by the Middle East Monitor (MEMO) newspaper which published the video of Jonathan Whittall, correspondent of the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs in the occupied Palestinian territory (OPT),
“The UN reported that 15 medical and humanitarian workers, including Red Crescent personnel, were found dead in a mass grave in Rafah, southern Gaza, some handcuffed and shot, still wearing their uniforms and gloves ,” MEMO said.
The spokesman said one of the bodies was found decapitated.
Their vehicles and ambulances were discovered crushed and buried in an attempt to cover up the crimes of the occupation army.
United Nations officials and the Red Cross condemned Israel’s actions, citing the attack as part of a broader pattern, with more than 1,000 health workers killed since October 2023.One of the rescue vehicles destroyed in the mass grave (MEMO video below)
“Every day, a hundred Palestinians die. The blatant lie of the Israeli army that initially said that the ambulances had their lights off and were advancing suspiciously has now attracted the attention of the world, but here people die every day under the fire of the soldiers. It is a massacre that must be stopped, but no one says anything to Israel. And I fear that this time too will be the same.”
“As Israel’s military aggression in the Middle East continues, emergency workers and healthcare workers are facing unprecedented danger. Just this week, 15 Palestinian doctors were found handcuffed and buried in a mass grave in Gaza, after being executed one by one by Israeli forces,” MEMO reported, also making a video about the massacre of doctors (link on Gospa News International
“The Palestinian Ministry of Health said the health sector ‘has been subjected to systematic attacks… affecting all its components.’ These deliberate and often fatal attacks have devastated health systems, leaving countless civilians without access to essential medical care.”
Earlier, a United Nations report denounced not only the genocide of Palestinians and repeated human rights violations with war crimes by the Zionist regime of Benjamin Netanyahu, hit by an arrest warrant from the International Criminal Court , but also the serial rapes of children by IDF soldiers.
Red Crescent, international investigation into murdered doctors
The Palestine Red Crescent Society has called for an independent international investigation into the killing of 15 aid workers on March 23 in an attack by Israeli forces in Rafah, southern Gaza Strip.
“We call on the world to form an independent and impartial international commission of inquiry into the circumstances of the deliberate killing of ambulance crews in the Gaza Strip,” Younis Al-Khatib, the organization’s chairman, told reporters in Ramallah.
