Palestinian Red Crescent says 14 bodies recovered from ambulances hit by Israeli fire in Gaza last week

The Palestinian Red Crescent says that it has recovered bodies of 14 rescuers killed in Israeli military fire on ambulances in the Gaza Strip one week ago.

“The number of recovered bodies has risen to 14 so far, including eight EMTs from the Palestine Red Crescent teams, five civil defense personnel and an employee from the United Nations agency,” the group says in a statement.

The IDF acknowledged yesterday that it had fired on ambulances and fire engines in southern Gaza last week, saying it had mistakenly identified them as “suspicious vehicles.”
