The bodies of 15 rescuers killed in the Gaza Strip have been recovered, including eight medics from the Red Crescent, six members of Gaza's civil defense agency, and one employee of a UN agency. The rescuers were targeted by Israeli forces while performing their humanitarian duties. The incident occurred just days after the military resumed its bombardments of Gaza following a truce. The Israeli military acknowledged opening fire on ambulances and claimed that they were responding to suspicious vehicles, including ambulances and fire trucks.
