The Palestinian Red Crescent accuses Israel of lying about the killings of Gaza medics, as an investigation by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) is deemed insufficient. The IDF report initially blamed poor visibility for the incident, but later admitted that the account was mistaken after a video showed the vehicles with their lights on and emergency signals flashing. The bodies of the 15 dead workers were buried in sand to prevent further harm, and were not recovered until a week later due to safety concerns. Israeli officials claim that troops in Gaza only open fire on medical vehicles if they feel threatened.
