The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) admitted that an “operational misunderstanding” and breach of orders led to the deaths of 15 emergency workers in Gaza on March 23. An internal inquiry found that IDF troops mistakenly fired on a convoy of ambulances, a UN vehicle, and a fire truck, suspecting hostile activity in low-visibility conditions. Video evidence later disproved the IDF’s claim that the vehicles lacked emergency lights. A deputy commander was dismissed for an inaccurate debrief, and another officer was disciplined. The incident has sparked calls for an independent probe from the Red Crescent and global humanitarian agencies. (PC: BBC)
