Israel’s Military Cites ‘Professional Failures’ in Killings of Gaza Medics

The Israeli military said Sunday that an investigation into its soldiers’ deadly attack on medics in southern Gaza last month had identified “several professional failures” and that a commander would be dismissed.

The military had previously acknowledged carrying out the attack in Rafah that killed 14 rescue workers and a United Nations employee who drove by after the others were shot. But it offered shifting explanations for why its troops fired on the emergency vehicles and said it was investigating the episode, one that prompted international condemnation and that experts described as a war crime.
