The Defense Ministry releases a clip showing Palestinian medics treating a wounded Hamas terrorist amid the October 7 onslaught, at the Erez border crossing.
The ministry says they are medics of the Palestine Red Crescent Society, although their uniform and ambulance appear to be of the Military Medical Services.
The edited video also shows how armed members of the terror group and other Palestinians in plainclothes attacked the checkpoint on the morning of October 7.
At least 10 Israeli soldiers were killed in the area of the crossing.
