Israel admits mistakenly shooting dead over a dozen aid workers in Rafah

Israel has admitted to mistakenly killing over a dozen Palestinian aid workers when troops fired on emergency vehicles last month in Rafah.

Mobile phone footage appeared to contradict claims by Israel’s army that it shot at “terrorists [in] suspicious vehicles” during a controversial attack.

The video was recovered from the phone of a Palestinian paramedic who was one of 15 humanitarian workers killed by Israeli forces in the attack on March 23, according to the United Nations and the Palestine Red Crescent Society (PRCS).
