<p
style="margin: 0 0 20px 0;color: rgb(54,55,55);line-height: 26px;font-size: 16px;">Israeli
soldiers fired nearly a thousand bullets during
the massacre of 15 Palestinian aid workers in
southern Gaza on March 23, 2025\u2014with at least
eight shots fired at point blank range\u2014according
to a joint investigation by the independent
research groups Earshot and Forensic Architecture.
The report, based on eyewitness testimony and
audio and visual analysis, shows that a number of
aid workers were executed and that at least one
was shot from as close as one meter away.</p>
<p
style="margin: 0 0 20px 0;color: rgb(54,55,55);line-height: 26px;font-size: 16px;">In
Tel al-Sultan that day, Israel killed eight aid
workers with the Palestine Red Crescent Society
(PRCS), six from Palestinian Civil Defense, and a
UN relief agency staffer. It immediately triggered
international condemnation and was described as
\u201cone of the darkest moments\u201d of the war by PRCS.</p>
<p
style="margin: 0 0 20px 0;color: rgb(54,55,55);line-height: 26px;font-size: 16px;">The
Israeli military was forced to change its story
about the ambush several times, following the
discovery of the bodies in a mass grave, along
with their flattened vehicles, and the emergence
of video and audio recordings taken by the aid
workers. An internal military inquiry ultimately
did not recommend any criminal action against the
army units responsible for the incident.</p>
<p
style="margin: 0 0 20px 0;color: rgb(54,55,55);line-height: 26px;font-size: 16px;">The
report by Earshot and Forensic Architecture
reconstructs, minute by minute, how the massacre
unfolded. Using video and audio recordings from
the incident, open-source images and videos,
satellite imagery, social media posts, and other
materials, as well as in-depth interviews with two
survivors of the attack, the groups were able to
digitally reconstruct the scene and events
surrounding the massacre.</p>
<p
style="margin: 0 0 20px 0;color: rgb(54,55,55);line-height: 26px;font-size: 16px;">The
investigation\u2019s findings include:</p>

soldiers ambushed and subjected Palestinian
aid workers to a near continuous assault for
over two hours even though the soldiers never

least 910 gunshots were documented across
three video and audio recordings of the
attack. The vast majority of these gunshots,
at least 844, were fired over just five
minutes and 30 seconds.</p>

</ul>

least 93% of the gunshots recorded in the
first minutes of the attack were fired
directly towards the emergency vehicles and
aid workers by Israeli soldiers. During this
time, at least five shooters fired
simultaneously. Witness testimonies suggest as
many as 30 soldiers were present in the area.</p>

soldiers were initially positioned on an
elevated sandbank by the road, with no
obstructions limiting their line of sight. The
emergency lights and markings of the victims\u2019
vehicles would have been clearly visible to
the soldiers at the time of the attacks.</p>

soldiers first maintained fixed firing
positions from the elevated sandbank, then
walked toward the aid workers while continuing
to shoot. Upon reaching the aid workers, the
soldiers moved between them and the vehicles
and executed some of the aid workers at point
blank range, as close as one meter away.</p>

the immediate aftermath of the attack, the
Israeli military conducted extensive
earthworks at the site. In the days and weeks
that followed, the area was further
transformed by the Israeli military\u2019s
construction of the \u201cMorag Corridor,\u201d a
security zone splitting the southern Gaza
Strip, and the erection of an aid distribution
site operated by the Israeli- and U.S.-backed
Gaza Humanitarian Foundation.</p>

</ul>
<p
style="margin: 0 0 20px 0;color: rgb(54,55,55);line-height: 26px;font-size: 16px;">\u201cThis
seems to be a very well documented case using a
number of forms of credible evidence that are
cross referenced,\u201d Katherine Gallagher, a senior
staff attorney at the Center for Constitutional
Rights, told Drop Site after reviewing a detailed
summary of the investigation. \u201cIt presents a very
compelling case, and honestly, a very devastating
one.\u201d</p>
<p
style="margin: 0 0 20px 0;color: rgb(54,55,55);line-height: 26px;font-size: 16px;">The
Israeli military did not respond to specific
inquiries from Drop Site and instead pointed to
the findings of an internal investigation
published on April 20 that found \u201cthe incident
occurred in a hostile and dangerous combat zone,
under a widespread threat to the operating
troops.\u201d It also \u201cfound no evidence to support
claims of execution,\u201d which it called \u201cblood
libels and false accusations against IDF
soldiers.\u201d</p>

the Massacre Unfolded</strong></h2>
<p
style="margin: 0 0 20px 0;color: rgb(54,55,55);line-height: 26px;font-size: 16px;">On
March 23, 2025 at 3:52 a.m., PRCS dispatched two
ambulances from two different areas to the scene
of an Israeli airstrike in Al-Hashashin, an area
near Rafah. Israel had resumed its scorched earth
bombing campaign on Gaza a few days earlier after
abandoning the January 2025 ceasefire agreement.</p>
<p
style="margin: 0 0 20px 0;color: rgb(54,55,55);line-height: 26px;font-size: 16px;"><span>The
attack on the aid workers began at approximately
4:00 a.m. when one of the ambulances driving
along Gush Katif road in Al-Hashashin came under
Israeli fire. The vehicle had its emergency
lights turned on at the time. Mustafa Khafaja,
who was driving, lost control of the vehicle,
which veered left off the road and stopped near
an electricity pole. Khafaja and his colleague,
Ezz El-Din Shaat, who was in the passenger seat,
were both killed. A third PRCS worker, </span><a

<p
style="margin: 0 0 20px 0;color: rgb(54,55,55);line-height: 26px;font-size: 16px;">After
the shooting stopped, Israeli soldiers approached
the ambulance and dragged Abed out of the car,
beat him, and detained him at a nearby pit.
Sometime later, two Palestinian civilians\u2014a father
and son from the Bardawil family\u2014were also
detained and brought to the pit. The Israeli
soldiers then took the three detainees to an
elevated area behind a tall concrete structure
some 38 to 48 meters southeast of the ambulance,
where an additional group of Israeli soldiers were
positioned.</p>

ambulances, one belonging to Civil Defense, and a
Civil Defense fire truck. The five-vehicle rescue
convoy arrived at the scene of the attack of the
first ambulance shortly after 5:00 a.m. All
vehicles were clearly marked and had their

PRCS worker in one of the ambulances, Refaat
Radwan, began filming on his phone as they drove
to the site. His recovered videos as well as
recordings of phone calls by two other aid workers
at the scene to PRCS dispatch provided crucial
evidence of the massacre. Forensic Architecture
and Earshot\u2019s analysis of the recordings
corroborated eyewitness testimony on the positions
and movements of the Israeli soldiers throughout
the attack.</p>

5:09 a.m., as the aid workers parked and
approached the first ambulance by foot, Israeli
soldiers positioned on the elevated sandbank
opened fire. A digital reconstruction of the scene
shows that the soldiers would have had an
uninterrupted view of the arrival of the convoy.
Abed, who was being detained at gunpoint on the
elevated sandbank, testified that the soldiers
were kneeling and aiming their weapons at the
convoy as it approached.</p>

Abu Libda called the group\u2019s headquarters. The
recording, which overlaps Radwan\u2019s video, provided
additional details. In this recording, Earshot
found that at least eight gunshots were fired from
positions between the emergency vehicles. One of
the gunshots captured on Abu Libda\u2019s phone call
was fired from a range of one to four meters from
him. The gunshots coincide with the last time Abu
Libda\u2019s voice is heard on the call, suggesting
these are the gunshots that killed him.</p>

<span>At least 844 gunshots were fired over a
period of five minutes and 30 seconds, with at
least 93% of the shots fired toward the
emergency vehicles. The audio ballistics
analysis confirms the presence of at least five
shooters\u2014and possibly many more\u2014firing
simultaneously. The two surviving PRCS aid
workers, Munther Abed and Asaad Al-Nasasra,
testified that between 12 and 30 soldiers were
at the scene.</span></p>
<p
style="margin: 0 0 20px 0;color: rgb(54,55,55);line-height: 26px;font-size: 16px;">\u201cThe
reconstruction was jointly achieved with the two
survivors of the incident, with an immersive
spatial model they could walk through and amend.
Together with spatial and audio analysis we
established the position of the soldiers on an
elevated ground with an unobstructed line of sight
to the emergency vehicles. The soldiers could
clearly see the aid workers, shot at them
continuously and deliberately from this position
and then approached to execute them one by one at
close range,\u201d Samaneh Moafi, assistant director of
research at Forensic Architecture, told Drop Site.
\u201cLocating the massacre within the evolution of
Israel\u2019s campaign in Gaza shows that it was not an
isolated incident but part of the genocide.\u201d</p>
<p
style="margin: 0 0 20px 0;color: rgb(54,55,55);line-height: 26px;font-size: 16px;">Earshot
used echolocation to analyze the audio on the
recordings in order to arrive at precise estimates
of the shooters\u2019 locations. Echolocation is the
process of locating the source of a sound based on
an analysis of the sound\u2019s echoes and the
environment in which the sound travels. The
Israeli military destroyed and cleared so many
buildings in the Tel Al-Sultan area where the
ambush of the aid workers took place that very few
structures remained. This destruction actually
strengthened Earshot\u2019s ability to determine the
positions and movements of Israeli soldiers, based
on identifying the surfaces responsible for
clearly distinguishable gunshot echoes. Rather
than having multiple buildings reflecting the
sound waves, there were only a few standing walls
and the emergency vehicles themselves.</p>
<p
style="margin: 0 0 20px 0;color: rgb(54,55,55);line-height: 26px;font-size: 16px;">The
analysis of the video and audio corroborated
Al-Nasasra\u2019s eyewitness testimony that Israeli
soldiers \u201ccame down [from the sandbank], got close
to [the aid workers] and shot them from close
range,\u201d and \u201cwere walking between [the aid
workers] and shooting.\u201d</p>

6:55 and 7:13 a.m., Al-Nasasra made a phone call
to PRCS headquarters that captured at least 42
additional gunshots and the sound of vehicle
movement. The recording also captured the sound of
an explosion the investigation identified as the
firing of an Israeli-made Spike LR guided missile.</p>
<p
style="margin: 0 0 20px 0;color: rgb(54,55,55);line-height: 26px;font-size: 16px;">Following
the ambush, Israeli forces crushed all eight
vehicles using heavy machinery and attempted to
bury them under the sand.</p>
<p
style="margin: 0 0 20px 0;color: rgb(54,55,55);line-height: 26px;font-size: 16px;">The
body of Anwar al-Attar was found near the ambush
site on March 27, and the bodies of the other 14
aid workers, all wearing identifying uniforms or
volunteer vests of their respective organizations,
were found in a mass grave near the site on March
30.</p>
<p
style="margin: 0 0 20px 0;color: rgb(54,55,55);line-height: 26px;font-size: 16px;">The
15 aid workers killed were: Mustafa Khafaja, Ezz

Muhammad Bahloul, Ashraf Abu Libda, Muhammad
al-Hila, and Raed al-Sharif with PRCS. Zuhair

of the survivors, Abed, was released hours after
the ambush. The other survivor, Asaad, was held in
Israeli custody without charge for 37 days,
tortured, and interrogated in relation to the
incident at the Sde Teiman detention camp, a
notorious Israeli prison camp in the Negev desert,
before being released on April 29.</p>
<p
style="margin: 0 0 20px 0;color: rgb(54,55,55);line-height: 26px;font-size: 16px;">Jonathan
Whittall, a senior UN official in Palestine
between 2022 and 2025, was one of team members on
the ground when the mass grave was discovered on
March 30 and provided evidence to Forensic
Architecture and Earshot for their investigation.
\u201cFollowing our discovery of the mass grave, the
narrative from Israeli forces shifted multiple
times; we were fed several versions of a blatant
lie,\u201d Whittall told Drop Site. \u201cThe men we
retrieved on Eid last year were medics. We found
them in their uniforms, ready to save lives, only
to be killed by Israeli forces fully aware of
their protected status.\u201d Whittall, who is now
executive Director of KEYS Initiative, a political
affairs and strategic advisory organization, has
also contributed reporting to Drop Site News. </p>
<p
style="margin: 0 0 20px 0;color: rgb(54,55,55);line-height: 26px;font-size: 16px;">\u201cThis
illustrates an abhorrent disregard for
international law,\u201d he continued, \u201cwhere any
Palestinian in an Israeli-designated evacuation
zone is targeted regardless of their civilian
status. It highlights the total lack of
accountability under which these forces operate.
International governments continue to arm and
trade with a leadership accused of genocide, whose
soldiers massacred medics and buried them in a
grave marked by the siren light of the ambulance
they destroyed.\u201d</p>

Lack of Accountability</strong></h2>
<p
style="margin: 0 0 20px 0;color: rgb(54,55,55);line-height: 26px;font-size: 16px;">In
the aftermath of the massacre, the Israeli
military provided several conflicting versions of
events to justify the killings. On March 28, after
the discovery of al-Attar\u2019s body, the Israeli
military admitted that its soldiers had fired on
\u201cambulances and fire trucks.\u201d Three days later,
after the remaining bodies were discovered in a
mass grave, the Israeli military claimed that
\u201cseveral uncoordinated vehicles were identified
advancing suspiciously toward IDF troops without
headlights or emergency signals.\u201d</p>
<p
style="margin: 0 0 20px 0;color: rgb(54,55,55);line-height: 26px;font-size: 16px;">After
footage from Radwan\u2019s phone was first published by
the New York Times a few days later, the Israeli
military backtracked on its claims that the
vehicles did not have emergency signals on when
Israeli troops opened fire, saying the statement
was inaccurate.</p>
<p
style="margin: 0 0 20px 0;color: rgb(54,55,55);line-height: 26px;font-size: 16px;"><span>The

moz-do-not-send="true">inquiry</a><span> into
the incident had found the killings were caused
by \u201cseveral professional failures, breaches of
orders, and a failure to fully report the
incident.\u201d</span></p>
<p
style="margin: 0 0 20px 0;color: rgb(54,55,55);line-height: 26px;font-size: 16px;">The
Israeli military said troops from the Golani
reconnaissance battalion were involved in the
attack. However, it said soldiers did not engage
in \u201cindiscriminate fire\u201d during the incident, but
that they opened fire on what they believed to be
a \u201ctangible threat\u201d amid what the military called
an \u201coperational misunderstanding.\u201d It blamed the
attacks on \u201cpoor night visibility\u201d and maintained
the incident had unfolded in a \u201chostile and
dangerous combat zone, under a widespread threat
to the operating troops.\u201d Six of the fifteen
Palestinians killed, the military said, \u201cwere
identified in a retrospective examination as Hamas
terrorists,\u201d but provided no evidence to support
the claim.</p>
<p
style="margin: 0 0 20px 0;color: rgb(54,55,55);line-height: 26px;font-size: 16px;">\u201cOn
the specific question of Israel justifying the
attack on clearly marked medical personnel because
of suspicions of membership in groups or links to
groups or terrorism\u2014because there is an
affirmative duty to respect and protect medical
personnel, you don\u2019t shoot first, you protect
first,\u201d Gallagher told Drop Site. \u201cBut what this
investigation reveals is that there was a shoot
first policy, and that is unlawful under
international law.\u201d</p>
<p
style="margin: 0 0 20px 0;color: rgb(54,55,55);line-height: 26px;font-size: 16px;">As
for the burial of the bodies in a mass grave, the
Israeli military said in its report \u201cit was
decided to gather and cover the bodies to prevent
further harm and clear the vehicles from the route
in preparation for civilian evacuation. The body
removal and vehicle crushing were carried out by
field commanders.\u201d It concluded, \u201cremoving the
bodies was reasonable under the circumstances, but
the decision to crush the vehicles was wrong. In
general, there was no attempt to conceal the
event.\u201d</p>
<p
style="margin: 0 0 20px 0;color: rgb(54,55,55);line-height: 26px;font-size: 16px;">As
a result of the investigation, the commanding
officer of the 14th Brigade received a letter of
reprimand for \u201chis overall responsibility for the
incident,\u201d while the deputy commander of the
Golani reconnaissance battalion involved in the
incident was \u201cdismissed from his position due to
his responsibilities as the field commander and
for providing an incomplete and inaccurate report
during the debrief.\u201d</p>
<p
style="margin: 0 0 20px 0;color: rgb(54,55,55);line-height: 26px;font-size: 16px;">The
inquiry did not recommend any criminal action be
taken against the military units responsible for
the incident. The Palestine Red Crescent Society,
Civil Defense, and the UN humanitarian agency in
Gaza all rejected the Israeli military report.</p>
<p
style="margin: 0 0 20px 0;color: rgb(54,55,55);line-height: 26px;font-size: 16px;">\u201cAttacks
on medical personnel and those who are identified
as medical personnel are patently unlawful under
international law, and there is an affirmative
obligation to protect medical personnel in the
context of armed conflict. So the very first thing
is that there\u2019s a breach of that very clear and
time honored principle of international
humanitarian law,\u201d Gallagher said. \u201cWhen you zoom
out and look at this in the context of the way the
Israeli assault has been carried out over many
months and years in Gaza and we see that there is
a pattern and practice of attacks on medical
personnel\u2014similar to journalists and other groups
that are explicitly and uniquely protected as
classes of civilians in international humanitarian
law\u2014it raises even more questions and deep concern
about the lack of accountability, because what we
know is that impunity breeds repetition.\u201d</p>
<p
style="margin: 0 0 20px 0;color: rgb(54,55,55);line-height: 26px;font-size: 16px;">Gallagher,
who previously worked at the UN\u2019s International
Criminal Court for the former Yugoslavia, said
that a legal analysis of the massacre would find
serious violations of the Rome Statute of the
International Criminal Court. \u201cWhen you\u2019re talking
about grave breaches of the Geneva Conventions, in
particular war crimes, you have obligations, not
just the possibility, but obligations, to open
investigations,\u201d Gallagher said.</p>

imagery from the morning of the ambush shows that

incident site. The images reveal the construction
of an earth berm approximately 220 meters north of
the ambush location and another roughly 410 meters
to the south. These two positions later functioned
as checkpoints, restricting access and controlling
passage along an evacuation route established that
morning by the Israeli military leading toward the
