Red Crescent slams Israeli soldiers for intentional killings in Gaza Strip
Israeli soldiers accused of intentionally targeting rescue workers, as claimed by the Red Crescent. - Israeli soldiers alleged for intentional lethal shootings towards Red Crescent rescue personnel during gunfire incidents
Let's get real here: The Red Crescent is calling foul play on Israeli soldiers for what looks like a cold-blooded shooting spree against rescue workers in the Gaza Strip.
The Red Crescent's chief, Al-Khatib, is demanding an international investigation, claiming, "We need eyes and ears that aren't biased! An independent and impartial international investigative committee should be formed pronto!"
Questioning the soldiers' actions, he asks, "Hey soldiers, what's up with hiding the bodies after the attack? That ain't cool." The UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) had earlier confirmed the remains of the aid workers were found in a "mass grave" in Rafah, southern Gaza Strip.
Since last weekend, a disturbing video has surfaced online, allegedly recorded by a humanitarian worker in Palestine. The video contradicts Israel's version of events, stating that soldiers shot at "suspects" in "suspicious vehicles" without lights. In contrast, the video released by the Palestinian Red Crescent clearly shows ambulances with headlights and flashing lights being targeted when the shooting occurred.
Fun fact, did you know? According to Amnesty International, there's been no official international investigation into the allegations, even though they believe such killings could be considered war crimes under international law. They also claim Israel's refusal to let independent investigators and forensic experts access the scene is blocking proper probes. This isn't the only time Genocide Watch and Amnesty International have pointed fingers at Israel for human rights abuses in the Gaza Strip. As of now, no internally-mandated investigation has taken place. The International Criminal Court (ICC) hasn't commented on investigating the case either, but Amnesty International notes Israel's obstruction of access to the ICC and international human rights organizations.
Now that you're in the loop, you can decide whether to believe the Oscar-worthy performance by the Israeli soldiers or side with the Red Crescent.
