They were traveling in a firetruck and two ambulances, all clearly marked with international civil defense symbols. These <a href=\"https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/2025\/03\/30\/exclusive-satellite-images-show-israel-destroyed-and-buried-gaza-rescue-vehicles\/\">vehicles<\/a> had been previously tagged with identifying codes coordinated with the International Committee of the Red Cross and shared with the Israeli side through the ICRC.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1492\" data-end=\"1791\">&#8220;Despite all this,&#8221; the Civil Defense stated, &#8220;none of it spared our team and the Red Crescent team from the crime.&#8221; It continued: &#8220;The Israeli army executed them in cold blood, in an act of vile arrogance and brutality, in blatant violation of all humanitarian and international human rights laws.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1793\" data-end=\"2459\">The Civil Defense clarified that the mission was a purely humanitarian response to urgent calls from civilians. Contact with the team was lost about ten minutes after they entered the area, and their fate remained unknown for eight days. During that time, extensive coordination efforts were made with the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) and the International Committee of the Red Cross to reach the area. &#8220;But each time, the Israeli army refused, claiming it was a closed military zone, while we continued to receive reports and eyewitness accounts that the Israeli army had executed them in that area,&#8221; the statement read.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_15073\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-15073\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-15073 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/789-2-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Israeli soldiers have confessed to using Palestinian civilians, including children, to check for explosives in Gaza\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/789-2-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/789-2-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/789-2-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/789-2-390x220.jpg 390w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/789-2.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-15073\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Israeli war on Gaza<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3 data-start=\"23\" data-end=\"93\"><strong data-start=\"23\" data-end=\"91\">Evidence of Execution Raises Calls for War Crimes Probe in Rafah<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"2461\" data-end=\"2716\">The bodies were found buried approximately 200 meters from their destroyed vehicles.

It also called for the formation of an international investigation committee to examine this heinous crime.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"3548\" data-end=\"3770\">The Civil Defense announced it is working with relevant authorities to prepare a professional technical report documenting the massacre, which will be submitted to international human rights organizations and institutions.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"3772\" data-end=\"3909\">The execution of the rescue team in Rafah raises the number of Civil Defense personnel killed in the ongoing war of extermination to 110.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"3911\" data-end=\"4243\">According to circulating information, it was an Israeli officer who guided the international rescue teams to the execution site before they retrieved the victims\u2019 bodies, which had been buried by an Israeli bulldozer\u2014further suggesting the crime was intentional, especially as the bodies showed gunshot wounds to the head and chest.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Watan-The Palestinian Civil Defense has revealed details of the field execution of 14 members of its rescue and ambulance teams who, several days ago, had gone to aid besieged residents in western Rafah and were attacked by the Israeli military.
