LONDON: Israeli soldiers fired more than 900 bullets during a massacre of Palestinian aid workers that included “execution-style” killings, a detailed reconstruction of one of the worst atrocities of the Gaza war has found.
The investigation recreated a 3D digital version of the scene of the killings and used audio analysis of recordings to pinpoint how the attack unfolded in March last year.
Fifteen Palestinian aid workers were killed when Israel troops ambushed their vehicles in Tel Al-Sultan, near Rafah, southern Gaza. The victims included ambulance crews from the Palestinian Red Crescent Society, rescue teams from the Palestinian Civil Defense sent to help, and a member of the UN agency for Palestinian refugees UNRWA.
Israel tried to hide evidence of the killings by crushing the vehicles left at the scene and burying them in the sand, along with the victims’ bodies.
Our new report in collaboration with Forensic Architecture (@ForensicArchi) is now live.
