Palestinians held funerals for 15 medics and emergency responders killed by Israeli troops in southern Gaza. The bodies and ambulances were found buried in a mass grave, allegedly plowed over by Israeli military bulldozers. The Palestinian Red Crescent accused Israeli troops of killing the workers 'in cold blood,' while the Israeli military claims they opened fire on vehicles that approached them 'suspiciously' without identification. The dead included Red Crescent workers, members of Gaza's Civil Defense emergency unit, and a staffer from UNRWA. This is the deadliest attack on Red Cross/Red Crescent personnel in eight years.
