#Gaza medic deaths just the latest in Israel’s long history of changing its story over civilian killings
"Often, at first, the IDF denies involvement. Sometimes – in the context of Gaza – it suggests one of Hamas’s own rockets fell short, causing the casualties.
Otherwise, it might allege that those killed were either combatants themselves, or collateral damage from the targeting of combatants.
If some have identified a pattern of obfuscation over the years, there is also a suspicion that it is in service of a wider aim: muddying the waters when an investigation is launched.
And when the #IDF does launch an investigation the results are often opaque and seldom lead to the most serious charges.
According to analysis conducted by Israeli human rights organisation, Yesh Din, published last year, the mechanism set up by the IDF’s general staff to investigate potential #warcrimes is designed to avoid responsibility while giving the impression that a process is taking place.
... “at least 664 complaints were transferred … for review.”
Of that, the organisation says, “542 (81.6%) incidents were closed without a criminal investigation, with “just 41 incidents (6%)” leading to a criminal investigation."

"We have conducted in-depth interviews with five released detainees, all of whom were arrested in Gaza in the months after Hamas and other groups killed about 1,200 people in Israel and took 251 hostage. The men were held under Israel's Unlawful Combatants Law, a measure by which people suspected of posing a security risk can be detained for an unspecified period without charge, as Israel set out to recover the hostages and dismantle the proscribed terror group.
The men say they were accused of having links with Hamas and questioned over the location of hostages and tunnels, but were not found to be involved in the 7 October 2023 attacks - a condition Israel had set for anyone released under the recent ceasefire deal.
Some of those freed under the deal were serving sentences for other serious crimes, including the killing of Israelis, but that was not the case for our interviewees. We also asked the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) and the Israel Prison Service (IPS) if there were any convictions or accusations against the men but they did not respond to that question.
In the men's testimony:
- They each describe being stripped, blindfolded, cuffed and beaten
- Some also say they were given electric shocks, menaced by dogs, and denied access to medical care
- Some say they witnessed the deaths of other detainees
- One says he witnessed sexual abuse
- Another says he had his head dunked in chemicals and his back set on fire"

Israel’s latest vision for Gaza has a name: Concentration camp
Unable to immediately expel Gazans en masse, Israel seems intent on forcing them into a confined zone — and letting starvation and desperation do the rest.

At this point I'm starting to believe the primary purpose of the sham ceasefire in Gaza, broken by Israel to continue a US-backed genocide of Palestinian people, was to allow US corporate media to catch its breath and reset to a position of trying very hard to ignore blatant war crimes against clearly innocent Palestinians. A United Nations investigation has revealed that the IDF executed 15 Palestinian paramedics and rescue workers, including a UN employee, in March 23rd; then tried to bury the evidence, including crushed ambulances, to hide this crime against humanity. Details of the murders make it clear that this activity was deliberate, and yet the portions of the mainstream western media that remain firmly pro-genocide have hardly registered any sort of outcry or calls for action.
Israel killed 15 Palestinian paramedics and rescue workers one by one, says UN
“Seven days ago, civil defence and PRCS ambulances arrived at the scene,” the head of Ocha in Palestine, Jonathan Whittall, said in a video statement. “One by one, [the paramedics and civil defense workers] were hit, they were struck. Their bodies were gathered and buried in this mass grave.
“We’re digging them out in their uniforms, with their gloves on. They were here to save lives. Instead, they ended up in a mass grave,” Whittall said. “These ambulances have been buried in the sand. There’s a UN vehicle here, buried in the sand. A bulldozer – Israeli forces bulldozer – has buried them.”
Philippe Lazzarini, the head of the UN relief agency for Palestinian refugees, Unrwa, said that one of its employees was among the dead found in Rafah."
As an American, please let me once again remind you that none of these atrocities would be happening without US financial, material, and diplomatic support. We're subsidizing the Israeli government, we're shipping the IDF the bombs and weapons being used to exterminate Palestinians in Gaza, and it is by US diplomatic force that Western support for Israel even as it commits a genocide, remains strong, if somewhat less overt than it was at the start of this genocide. Trump (and Biden before him) could end this inhuman slaughter today if he wanted to; he just doesn't want to because killing brown people and taking their resources (beachfront property and natural gas, in this case) is a important business activity for the entire Pig Empire.
In an environment where the media is actively cultivating a numb complicity, and western states are either ignoring the massacres, or as in the Trump regime's case, openly celebrating them, it behooves all of us in the so-called West to reject these attempts to rewind time and protect the genocide. In the months leading up to the ceasefire, Western political leaders and media were on the backfoot as independent media, folks with Tik Tok accounts, protestors, and even everyday people refused to accept the complicity of silence and demanded action. This "reset" must not be allowed to continue while Palestinians in Gaza are murdered with impunity and the complicity of the larger Pig Empire; as noted by Ahmed Moor writing in the Guardian - which is sadly where I have to get my mainstream news about a US-enabled and supported genocide the Trump administration is happily paying for, because US media outlets are still trying to pretend none of this is real:

Israel executes unarmed Red Crescent paramedics with the west’s blessing
"Nor will global leaders intervene to end the mass murder which has been punctuated by this latest obscenity. Some of them – such as Emmanuel Macron, who called for a ceasefire, might appear to want to end the slaughter. After all, dead babies in incubators and paramedics in a mass grave are unpleasant garlands to wear. But 18 months in, they are too deeply implicated. Who can forget Ursula von der Leyen’s embrace of Netanyahu? Or Keir Starmer’s affirmation of Israel’s “right” to starve Palestinians in Gaza?
Today, those who are tasked with upholding international law have been co-opted by the Israeli leadership, whether they like it or not. The logic of gangland drug dealers and criminals – new members commit crimes to join, and are locked in – prevails.
So far from being complicit, US and European leaders are the authors of this latest atrocity by their Israeli colleagues in Gaza."
More lies from the most cowardly army in the world:
Israeli army: Jabalia strike targeted Hamas ‘command centre’
The Israeli army confirmed its attack on the #UNRWA clinic in #Jabalia saying it targeted a “command-and-control centre” for Hamas.
The Israeli army has routinely claimed its targets in #Gaza are #Hamas centres without providing proof.
At least 19 people have been killed at the medical facility – including nine children – which was housing displaced families as a result of intense Israeli bombardment that levelled houses throughout the enclave.

By all accounts, IDF soldiers just murdered 15 medics and aid workers in Rafah, many of whom were wearing Red Cross uniforms. The #IDF then tried to cover it up (and literally burry both the bodies of the dead and the ambulance vehicles).
After over 50,000 dead in #Gaza, it's hard to see this as an escalation. But if this is not the moment when our governments say, enough is enough, impose full sanctions, and see to it that war criminals are prosecuted, I honestly don't think anything will.

Gaza medics killed by Israel found handcuffed and shot in mass grave

#Israel killed 15 Palestinian #paramedics and rescue workers one by one, says UN - https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/mar/31/israel-killed-15-palestinian-paramedics-and-rescue-workers-one-by-one-says-un yet another sadistic warcrime by #idf in #gaza
"On Tuesday afternoon last week, the Israel Defense Forces Spokesperson's Unit released two videos. In the first, a warplane is seen lifting off in the dark, its jet engines leaving being a hypnotic trail of light; that's followed by a scene of an Apache helicopter pilot checking the munitions on the craft before getting into the cockpit. The second video shows buildings being destroyed in bombing runs, as columns of smoke waft into the sky.
There are no people in the images of the buildings released by the IDF, but on the ground, it looked different. Earlier that day, the bodies and the wounded began arriving at hospitals – by ambulance, in private cars, on donkey carts and carried in the arms of others. The director of Shifa Hospital, Dr. Mohammed Abu Salmiya, told Al Jazeera: "This morning there were 50 bodies in the ER and another 30 bodies in the morgue refrigerator. The operating rooms were full, and many of the wounded died before our eyes because we couldn't treat them."
Dr. Sakib Rokadiya, a surgeon from the U.K. who was volunteering at the Nasser Hospital, in Khan Yunis, told Associated Press reporters: "What stunned doctors was the number of children… Just child after child, young patient after young patient.""
"I served in Gaza for nine months, and first came across these procedures, called "mosquito protocol" in December 2023. It was only two months into the ground offensive, long before there was a shortage of dogs from the IDF's canine unit, Oketz, who were used for this purpose. This became the insane, unofficial excuse for this insane, unofficial procedure. I didn't realize then how ubiquitous using human shields, whom we referred to as a "shawish," would become.
Today, almost every platoon keeps a "shawish," and no infantry force enters a house before a "shawish" clears it. This means there are four "shawishes" in a company, twelve in a battalion, and at least 36 in a brigade. We operate a sub-army of slaves.
The procedure is simple. Innocent Palestinians are forced to enter houses in Gaza and "clear" them, to make sure there are no terrorists or explosives.
I recently saw that the IDF's Military Police Criminal Investigation Division opened six investigations into the use of Palestinian civilians as human shields, and my jaw dropped. I've seen cover-ups before, but this is a new low. If the MPCID wanted to do its job seriously, it would have to open far more than even a thousand investigations. But all the MPCID wants is for us to be able to tell ourselves and the world that we're investigating ourselves, so they've found six scapegoats and are pinning it all on them."
