️JUST IN: 15 rescue workers missing and killed by Israel.
Mahmoud Basal, spokesperson for the Palestinian Civil Defense, reports that 15 rescue workers from the Civil Defense and the Palestinian Red Crescent have gone missing in the Barracks area of western Rafah. The Israeli army claims it executed the team, accusing them of being Hamas members, despite the mission being pre-coordinated with Israeli forces via the Red Cross.

Palestine Red Crescent briefing today:
For the sixth consecutive day, the fate of nine Palestine Red Crescent EMTs remains unknown after they were besieged and targeted by occupation forces in Rafah.
Today, PRCS teams attempted once againcoordinated and escorted by the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), to reach the Tal al-Sultan area in Rafah to search for the missing EMTs. However, the occupation forces ordered them to withdraw, preventing access to the area.
So far, no trace of our team members has been found (only one member of the Civil Defense Anwar al-Attar)
Yesterday, we discovered the four ambulance vehicles completely destroyed and buried in the sand.
The occupation is deliberately obstructing search efforts to uncover the fate of our missing teams.

️BREAKING: Hamas Statement:
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
Targeting Civil Defense and Red Crescent Teams in Rafah: A Full-Fledged War Crime and a Deepening of Egregious Violations of International Law
We call for the formation of an international committee to immediately investigate the crime of targeting civil defense and ambulance personnel while they were carrying out their humanitarian duties, and to hold the fascist zionist war criminals accountable.
What has been revealed after days of losing contact with the Palestinian Civil Defense and Red Crescent teams — who entered Tal Al-Sultan neighborhood and the Al-Baraksat area in Rafah during the attack by the terrorist occupation army — and the discovery of the bodies of several of their fifteen members buried in the sand next to their destroyed vehicles, constitutes a heinous crime and a blatant violation of international laws. It reflects utter disregard for all humanitarian treaties and conventions, and for the values and principles upon which the international system is supposedly built.
The targeting of civil defense and ambulance crews and the obstruction of rescue operations — in a crime that has continued throughout the months of genocide in the Gaza Strip — confirms that there is no limit to the brutality of the zionist terrorist machine. The international silence in the face of these crimes amounts to unacceptable complicity and places the world before a historic responsibility to stop this brutal genocide and these unprecedented violations.
We demand the United Nations and its agencies, international humanitarian organizations — foremost among them the International Committee of the Red Cross — to act urgently to form an international investigation committee into this horrific crime, and to enter Rafah to uncover the fate of the thousands of civilians with whom all communication has been lost.
