The Palestine Red Crescent Society (PRCS) has begun a news conference in el-Bireh, the occupied West Bank, Al Jazeera reports.

PRCS is demanding an independent investigation into Israel’s killing of paramedics in Gaza.

“We at PRCS have been accustomed to Israel’s false allegations and fabricated stories with regards to what goes on in the Gaza Strip,” the organisation’s president, Younis al-Khatib, has said during a news conference.

“This involves the assassination of 15 PRCS members. However, we believe that the whole world, including media representatives, have now come to realise who is telling the truth.”

While the released video footage of Israel’s attack on paramedics “was heart-wrenching and painful,” it provided several noticeable elements which al-Khatib said would be presented in the news conference.
