The Israeli military has retracted its initial claims regarding the March 23 killing of 15 Palestinian medics in Rafah, Gaza. Initially, the military asserted that the emergency vehicles approached without lights or signals, justifying the troops' suspicion. However, newly surfaced phone footage reveals that the Red Crescent and Civil Defense teams had their emergency lights flashing and logos visible as they approached a previously attacked ambulance. Upon arrival, they were met with intense gunfire, resulting in the deaths of eight Red Crescent personnel, six Civil Defense workers, and a U.N. staffer. The Israeli military now acknowledges discrepancies in their initial account and has launched an investigation into the incident. (PC: BBC)
