A group of 15 paramedics and rescue workers from the Palestinian Red Crescent Society (PRCS) and Gaza’s Civil Defence, who disappeared while responding to casualties in Rafah, are believed to have been executed by Israeli forces.
PRCS confirmed the rescue workers “vanished” while on duty in the Tal Sultan neighbourhood in southern Gaza. They had arrived in response to an Israeli bombing and were attempting to save lives when they were abducted. In a statement issued on Friday, PRCS detailed its efforts to locate the team, working alongside the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA).
“So far, no trace of our team members has been found. Yesterday, we discovered the four ambulance vehicles completely destroyed and buried in the sand,” PRCS stated in reference to its nine missing members. “The occupation is deliberately obstructing search efforts to uncover the fate of our missing teams.”

This is why i hate people
Yes, but in this case you can point to a responsible party, Israel, so that’s a very interesting way of stating your point, to say the least.
We’ve been doing stuff like this for centuries. It just seems like fundamentally, humans can’t get along, or share resources.
That is correct. But in this case, we can absolutely blame a specific part of humanity for this.
Bro just let them be upset. These people suck, the people enabling them suck, the general fact that it’s a dumbass religious excuse sucks, and the fact that this is completely “normal” for our species extra sucks. Not 100 years ago the very recent ancestors of Israeli Jews were super prosecuted and victims of a holocaust and now it’s 2025 and…they’ve learned absolutely nothing from that experience and are trying to wipe out an entire ethnic group.
It’s like, if you can’t expect genocide victims to understand that genocide is beyond reproach then where does that leave the rest of this place?
Why the quotation marks? It is a war crime.
Because it’s actually a quotation.
I know this is the internet, but quotation marks weren’t always just meant to denote insincerity…
Nobody ever likes this answer, but it’s the truth.
Really makes you think.
Quotation marks denote a quotation.
Quotation marks denote a “quotation”
But what do they connotate?
Often news sources make sure anything that could make their news source look bad, like controversial topics, are someone else’s exact words that they quote so you can’t be mad at them for calling it a “war crime”…
Gaza throws a rock at Israel. Israel kills millions in fair retribution!
I’m curious how this will play out in the future. Will Israel ever be sentenced for these atrocities, and will these atrocities create a huge wave of terrorists/freedom-fighters that’ll kill thousands of Israelis?
History tells us probably not. Did the US pay anything for the extermination of native americans? Or for the generations of people who lived in slavery? Did Turkey pay for the Armenian genocide? Did Russia pay for the millions of people killed in gulags and the Holodomor?
Yes and yes, just an fyi. Though, literal, monetary payment. And to not many of them.
We do not forgive, we will not forget. It may take a while but Israeli war criminals WILL pay for their crimes.
why are “war crime” and “executed” in quotes here? I guess I just don’t understand journalism
It can be deflective, or a foreign news style of having quotes around exact language. I noticed it with the BBC World News.
It’s still deflective. Saying someone else called these events a war crime is distancing their news agency from calling it that even as they spell out details of an event that’s a war crime
You just don’t know how quotes work. If they wanted to ve deflective, they would not quote at all.They are at freedpm with the title. They choose executed and they display it is more than just their own opinion.
If they do not use quote marks MBFC gets big mad for quoting Gazans and not mainstream news outlets which are not allowed into Gaza.
‘Israel’ has no problem doing war crimes or any kind of crimes, really.
With the help of your government
Israel is a terrorist state and the United States is a state-sponsored of terrorism.
There are no occupying non-combatants in occupied territories.
False. Children are non combatants.
Touché
Not how theyve been treated though.
By whom?
