Their fate remained unknown until rescue teams, coordinated with the Red Cross, entered the area. They discovered that Israeli occupation troops had executed the missing medics and buried them near the barracks. The soldiers also destroyed all Palestinian Red Crescent and Civil Defence ambulances at the site.<\/p>\n<p>The Palestinian Red Crescent had reported the medics missing for days. On Monday, the organisation lost contact with four ambulances during a rescue mission in Rafah\u2019s Tel Sultan neighbourhood. Israeli forces attacked the vehicles and later surrounded the area, cutting off all communication amidst reports of mass field executions in the area.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em><strong>READ:\u00a0<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.middleeastmonitor.com\/20250328-hamas-ready-as-always-for-serious-negotiations-to-end-israeli-onslaught-on-gaza\/\" >Hamas: Ready as always for serious negotiations to end Israeli onslaught on Gaza<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Since the genocide began in October 2023, Israel has killed 19 Palestinian medics while they carried out humanitarian work.
