Execution style killings of Palestinian doctors

The world has gone mad, there’s so much evil out there.

The IDF has been caught lying again. They just do what they want with impunity! When are they going to be held accountable?

Video Shows Aid Workers Killed in Gaza Under Gunfire Barrage, With Ambulance Lights On.
A video, discovered on the cellphone of a paramedic who was found along with 14 other aid workers in a mass grave in Gaza in late March, shows that the ambulances and fire truck that they were traveling in were clearly marked and had their emergency signal lights on when Israeli troops hit them with a barrage of gunfire.

Palestinians have to film their owm deaths in order to be believed.

It's all coming out now, I doubt Israel cares though, it's just another in a long list of their war crimes.

This is a damning article
Sky news have verified that atleast one ambulance was crushed from the footage they have seen and no answers given by the IDF why it was.

There's plenty online where Israeli soldiers talk of how the rules of engagement were formally and even more informally loosened. It is very much a culture of shoot first and ask questions later.

You see this is the issue isn't it? What is a 'threat'? Is there rules that govern this because it would seem that the IDF get spooked very easily.

Or bombing British aid workers in marked vehicles who had co-ordinated their route with the IDF. IDF felt very threatened so killed them all.

Right, like shooting hostages waving white flags? I wonder what threat the IDF saw there? And how else they decide who is a 'threat'

ScrollingLeaves- that's absolutely horrific. And they did this to the crews of at least 8 emergency vehicles?! Words fail me. Those people people. 💔

If they pose an immediate threat then shooting them is permitted. Obviously someone bound is unlikely to pose an immediate threat and we get back to the question of whether it’s true that they were bound and/or shot at close range.

But even if they do pose a threat why were they executed? I thought that was a war crime? They bound them and executed them is it not normal to arrest people and put them on trial? What threat does a bound man pose exactly? Why was the lifesaving medical equipment then destroyed? Honestly where are people's morals here.

You keep wanting to jump past the question of ‘if it’s true’! This is the only thing worth discussing, because you’re not going to find anyone who says that a person posing no threat ought to be executed.

But if it was true and they had their lights on did they deserve to be tied up, shot at close range and buried in an unmarked grave?

It’s possible to neither believe nor disbelieve. Most things in this area go into a ‘might be true’ category in my head.

We’re talking about a specific incident, which may or may not have happened as reported. You have unquestioning believed it to be true, which suggests bias. ‘Humanity’ would simply lament the loss of life.

Well I don’t know why you would automatically believe anyone, when both sides have a vested interest in lying and much of the evidence is unverified.

Account from Israeli newspaper Haaretz
April ( without links or photos).

Terrible things happened last week on the road to Tel al-Sultan, a neighbourhood in the Gazan town of Rafah. What we know so far is that a Red Crescent ambulance was summoned to the area to evacuate the casualties of an Israeli attack. The ambulance crew that arrived first asked that a second ambulance be sent. But the second ambulance never reached its destination, and the same was true of several rescue crews sent out after it.

For five days, there was no information about what had become of them. Only on Sunday did the army allow rescue crews from the United Nations and the Red Crescent to go there. They found a giant pile of sand in which parts of crushed, destroyed vehicles were visible. Ultimately, they found five ambulances in it, as well as a fire truck and UN vehicles. In another location to which someone in the Israel Defense Forces referred them, they dug and found the bodies of the 15 rescue workers – eight employees of the Palestinian Red Crescent, six employees of Gaza's civil defense agency and one UN worker.

Palestinian sources said that the bodies were found outside their vehicles. Some had their hands or legs tied, and there were indications that they had been shot from close range. In at least one case, someone who was there confirmed to Haaretz that the body's legs were tied. And if all this weren't enough, while they were on their way to the site, UN workers saw hundreds of people fleeing the area under fire. They said they saw one woman shot in the back of her head, and a young man who tried to help her was also shot.

The IDF confirmed that the vehicles were shot at, but claimed it was because they looked suspicious. It also said the shooting killed a known operative of Hamas' military wing along with eight other people active in either Hamas or Islamic Jihad.

But this IDF response is inadequate, especially given the army's permissive rules of engagement in the Gaza Strip and the fact that officers in the field ignore international law and even Israeli law. The 15 rescue workers killed in Tel al-Sultan join the over 1,000 medical workers, rescue workers and civil defense personnel who have been killed since the war began.

To date, more than 50,000 people have been killed in Gaza, according to Gaza's Hamas-run Health Ministry. On Wednesday, April 2, it will be one month since Israel closed all the border crossings to Gaza. Since then, no food or aid of any kind has entered. The threat of starvation and a humanitarian crisis is once again hovering over Gaza's 2 million inhabitants. The IDF must provide clear answers regarding what happened to the ambulances and their crews. In addition, the chief of staff and other senior officers must make an effort to prevent harm to innocents and medical workers and reduce the suffering of the innocent people in Gaza.

Even though this government would like the war to continue forever, it will end someday. And on that day, the IDF and Israeli society as a whole will be forced to look in the mirror and deal with the knowledge that these atrocities were committed in our name.

Possibly, but the IDF is more than capable of lying too.

Let’s say the lights were off and that is a suspicious thing. Then why would Hamas have turned the lights off and made themselves come under suspicion?

Even if Hamas was in a hospital or a UN facility, that doesn’t justify flattening the whole place and killing hundreds of civilians. International law is clear… attacks have to be proportionate, and civilian buildings are protected.

Calling the killing of aid workers an “error” is a weak excuse when Israel keeps bombing ambulances, hospitals, refugee camps, and journalists. At some point, when the same “mistakes” keep happening, it’s not a mistake anymore, it’s the plan.

And lastly, this is not about “bias”.. it’s about basic humanity. Watching thousands of innocent people, especially children, being killed and calling it out isn’t some ideological stance, it’s just having a conscience.

You are all assuming this guy’s account is true. You are assuming that automatically and without question, probably because that’s the way your bias takes you.

Now it might be true, but it might not. If it isn’t true, the IDFs comments are legitimate. We know that unfortunately Hamas are not above embedding themselves in UNWRA or healthcare facilities. If it is true, it’s an appalling error or a war crime.
