The Palestine Red Crescent Society has said that 15 medics and rescuers killed by Israeli forces last month in Gaza were shot in the upper body with “intent to kill”, AFP reports.

Younis Al-Khatib, president of the Red Crescent in the Israeli-occupied West Bank, told journalists in Ramallah: “There has been an autopsy of the martyrs from the Red Crescent and civil defence teams. We cannot disclose everything we know, but I will say that all the martyrs were shot in the upper part of their bodies, with the intent to kill.”
