Palestinians held funerals Monday for 15 medics and emergency responders killed by Israeli troops in southern Gaza, after their bodies and mangled ambulances were found buried in an impromptu mass grave, apparently plowed over by Israeli military bulldozers.

    It said “an initial assessment” determined that the troops killed a Hamas operative named Mohammed Amin Shobaki and eight other militants. Israel has struck ambulances and other emergency vehicles in the past, accusing Hamas militants of using them for transportation.

    However, none of the dead staffers from the Red Crescent and Civil Defense had that name, and no other bodies were reported found at the site, raising questions over the military’s suggestion that alleged militants were among the rescue workers.

    If they are so sure they killed “Hamas,” why the mass grave in the middle of no where? Why lie? Why hide the bodies? I still cannot believe that were watching a full on genocide and the rest of the world is like, “Well, as long as they don’t bother us.”

      Germanys mistake in ww2 was to kill other people. We were just fine nwith them committing genocide on their own population. That remains true today. It’s a really sad state of affairs.

    I’m deeply saddened by the ongoing Israeli genocide of Palestinians. I’m grateful for AP covering this story, especially given that large mainstream media has otherwise abandoned the Palestinians.

    Wow, AP is really mad at Trump. Their coverage of Gaza has been a lot more scathing since the Gulf of Mexico debacle.
