The Israeli military has said it was investigating a deadly incident last month in which its troops fired on ambulances in Gaza, killing at least 15 medics and rescuers according to the UN, AFP reports.

“The incident from March 23, 2025, in which IDF (military) forces opened fire targeting terrorists advancing in ambulances, has been transferred to the General Staff’s Fact-Finding and Assessment Mechanism for investigation,” military spokesman Lieutenant Colonel Nadav Shoshani said in a statement.
