Tel Aviv: The Israeli occupation army admitted on Saturday that it fired on ambulances in the Gaza Strip, alleging they were "suspicious."
According to Jordan News Agency, the shooting occurred Sunday in the Tel al-Sultan neighborhood, west of Rafah, in the southern Gaza Strip on the border with Egypt, as reported by Israel's Channel 12. The Civil Defense in Gaza stated on Monday morning that it had not heard from a rescue team in Tel al-Sultan, which had been dispatched the previous day following reports of casualties during an Israeli army advance.
The Civil Defense reported on Friday that it discovered the body of the team's leader and that the vehicles were reduced to "piles of metal." Additionally, the Red Crescent Society reported losing contact with its nine-member team since Sunday.
UN Humanitarian Coordinator Tom Fletcher stated that since March 18, ambulances have been fired upon and rescue workers killed. He emphasized that "if the fundamental principles of international law are still of any value, the international community must act to ensure they are respected."
