ISIS-Like Crimes: Civil Defense Worker in Gaza Found Beheaded by Israelis
Gaza (Quds News Network)- The Civil Defense has stated that one of their team members was found beheaded by Israeli forces in Rafah, south of Gaza. The statement drew comparisons to savage crimes committed by ISIS.
Israeli troops executed Palestinian paramedics and Red Crescent medics in cold blood, the Civil Defense stated. Their vehicles carried internationally recognized protection symbols, yet Israeli forces attacked them without warning.
The massacre has pushed the death toll of Gaza’s rescue workers to 110. The Civil Defense labeled the killings as genocide and called on the international community to hold Israel accountable.
The United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) confirmed that Israeli troops executed 15 paramedics and rescue workers in southern Gaza. The victims, including a UN employee, were buried in a mass grave in Rafah’s Tel Al-Sultan district.
The paramedics had been on a mission to rescue civilians who were shot earlier. Israeli forces fired at their clearly marked ambulances, killing them one by one, OCHA said. A Red Crescent official reported that one victim was detained before being executed. His body was found with his hands tied.
The attack occurred on March 23, a day after Israel launched a renewed offensive in Rafah. A Palestinian Red Crescent worker who was part of the mission remains missing.
The Civil Defense urged the international community to pressure Israel to comply with humanitarian law.
