Israel’s military admitted on Saturday it had fired on ambulances in the Gaza Strip after identifying them as “suspicious vehicles”, with Hamas condemning it as a “war crime” that killed at least one person.

The incident took place last Sunday in the Tal al-Sultan neighbourhood in the southern city of Rafah, close to the Egyptian border.

Israeli troops launched an offensive there on 20 March, two days after the army resumed aerial bombardments of Gaza after an almost two-month-long truce. Attacks on medical staff, hospitals and ambulances are potential war crimes.

    Everyone knows Hamas is despicable, and hides in Hospitals, and other places where innocent civilians are. No doubt Hamas was using ambulances to move their troops around. This doesn’t even suprise me.

      It wouldn’t surprise me if you had Hamas hiding in your basement. Better not check better to just demolish it first to be safe.
