️BREAKING: Video footage from the cellphone of a Palestinian paramedic, later found in a mass grave with 14 other aid workers killed by Israel in Gaza, shows their final moments and disproves Israel’s account.
New footage shows aid workers in Gaza killed under heavy gunfire while ambulance lights were on, proving Israel’s claim that the vehicles were “advancing suspiciously” without headlights or emergency signals were false.
A video recovered from the cellphone of a Palestinian paramedic, later found in a mass grave with 14 other aid workers in Gaza, shows clearly marked ambulances and a fire truck with emergency lights on coming under heavy Israeli gunfire in Rafah on March 23.
The footage, verified by The New York Times, was presented to the UN Security Council by the Palestine Red Crescent Society during a press conference moderated by the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies. It captures the convoy stopping to assist a damaged ambulance when gunfire erupts, hitting the rescue vehicles.
Filming from inside one of the vehicles before being killed, the paramedic recites the Muslim declaration of faith — “There is no God but God, Muhammad is His messenger” — and says: “Forgive me, mother. This is the path I chose — to help people. Allahu akbar.”

The story and the moment the grave was found:
Palestinian Red Crescent Society (PRCS) and Civil Defense teams recovered the bodies of 8 PRCS medics, 6 Civil Defense workers, and 1 UN staff member from a mass grave in Rafah, Gaza—marked only by the emergency light of a crushed ambulance.
Seven days earlier, as Israeli forces advanced, 10 PRCS and 6 Civil Defense first responders were dispatched to rescue the wounded. All five ambulances, a fire truck, and a later-arriving UN vehicle were struck, and contact was lost.
One survivor reported Israeli forces executed both medics in his ambulance. Despite repeated coordination efforts, access was only granted five days later. En route, teams witnessed civilians fleeing under gunfire, including a woman shot in the head and a man killed while trying to reach her. Her body was retrieved using the UN vehicle.
Upon reaching the site the next day, they found ambulances, the fire truck, and the UN vehicle crushed and partially buried. After hours of digging, they recovered the first body—beneath the fire truck.
The rest were found on the first day of Eid, still in uniform, wearing gloves, and inside marked vehicles—killed on their way to save lives.
