The Israeli military is conducting an investigation into the killing of emergency and aid workers in Gaza, denying that the killings were an 'execution'. The bodies of 15 workers from the Red Crescent, Palestinian Civil Defense, and United Nations were found buried in a shallow grave. The Red Crescent claims that Israeli forces targeted the workers, while Israel says they fired on vehicles carrying Hamas militants. The military spokesperson stated that the investigation is being conducted outside the chain of command to establish accountability.
