Protesters took to the streets of the city of Ramallah, West Bank, on Saturday (5), in protest against Israel’s bombing in the Gaza Strip.

“The Israeli army committed a terrible crime of war to attack first aid and doctors from the Red Crescent, while employees were in ambulances, clearly marked with linked sirens and lights. Therefore, Israel must undergo sanctions against this terrible massacre and this terrible violation of all international laws, which protect those who provide medical care to people Wounds, ”Reuters Mustafa Barghouti, a Palestinian politician who leads the Union of Palestinian Medical Assistance committees, told Reuters.
In March, the bodies of 15 workers from the Red Crescent, the Palestinian Civil Defense and the United Nations were found buried in a shallow grave in the southern end of the Gaza Strip, near the destroyed vehicles.
Israel did not directly comment on the accusations, but Israeli military said that on March 23 they shot vehicles that had red crescent symbols near the city of Rafah. According to the Israelis, the target were groups of enemy combatants. At least nine people died.
“Our initial investigation found that there were terrorists in these cars using those red-crested vehicles,” said Lieutenant Colonel Israeli Nadav Shoshani.
