Watan<\/strong><\/em>-While the spokesperson for the Israeli army merely stated that the army is \u201cinvestigating the incident\u201d in Tel al-Sultan, unofficial voices in Israel have called for an independent investigation into the massacre of the medics\u2014motivated primarily by \u201ccost-benefit\u201d considerations, rather than moral or humanitarian concerns\u2014following the release of a video that dismantles the army\u2019s narrative and confirms its soldiers’ involvement in the execution of 15 members of Palestinian medical teams in Rafah, burying them in the sand.<\/p>\n

At the time, the military spokesperson claimed that the army had killed the medics after mistaking them for \u201cterrorists,\u201d especially since they were \u201cdriving vehicles without ambulance-specific lighting.\u201d However, the video published first by Al Jazeera and later by The New York Times, which documents the killing without justification, completely undermines the army\u2019s version and exposes the falsehood of its statement.<\/p>\n

Will this new scandal reignite anti-war protests and demonstrations, as happened after similar revelations like the \u201cflour massacre\u201d? What\u2019s certain is that the massacre of the medics would have remained hidden in Israel were it not for its exposure in a prominent American newspaper, The New York Times\u2014as is often the case with Palestinian blood, the blood of innocents spilled daily in Gaza.<\/p>\n

What further complicates matters for Israel is that major international media outlets highlighted the massacre. For example, The Guardian reported that contact with the medics<\/a> had been lost for an entire week, highlighting the tragedy experienced by their families\u2014who were called in to identify the bodies of their loved ones, found wearing their blood- and dirt-stained Red Crescent uniforms. The newspaper quoted the father of one medic who said he could hardly recognize his son.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s worth noting that the bodies of the medics were discovered last Sunday, after they were killed in a horrific massacre on March 21. They were buried\u2014along with their vehicles\u2014in the sand by an Israeli military bulldozer. According to eyewitnesses, some were bound at the hands or feet.<\/p>\n

After the bodies were found, the Israeli army again claimed it did not open fire indiscriminately at an ambulance, but rather at \u201csuspicious vehicles\u201d moving without the markings or lights typical of ambulances.<\/p>\n
