Israeli forces shot dead 15 Palestinian paramedics and civil defence workers on 23 March and buried them in a mass grave in the Tel al-Sultan district of Rafah.
The Israeli military claimed their vehicles had been “advancing suspiciously” and without headlights or flashing emergency lights.
When the UN and Palestinian Red Crescent exhumed the bodies, however, they found a phone that belonged to Rifat Radwan, one of the paramedics killed. He had recorded the last minutes of his life.
The video footage contradicted the Israeli military’s claim that the vehicles had not been using emergency lights when its troops opened fire.
Helen Pidd speaks to the Guardian’s Jerusalem correspondent, Bethan McKernan, about the attack, and to Amy Neilson, an emergency doctor who worked with some of the men who were killed in Gaza.
