A mobile phone video of a paramedic whose body was found in a mass grave containing the bodies of 15 aid workers assassinated by Israeli forces on March 23 in Rafah has refuted the occupation's claims that it did not randomly attack the ambulances and failed to recognize them because they were without lights or emergency signals.

The video, published by the Hebrew newspaper Haaretz and quoted from the New York Times, clearly showed that the ambulances and fire trucks carrying the paramedics and civil defense crews were clearly marked and had their emergency lights on as they came under fire from the occupation forces.

The New York Times explained that the video, which it received from a senior UN diplomat, clearly shows ambulances and a fire truck carrying 14 paramedics and civil defense personnel with their emergency lights on when they came under fire, belying Israeli claims that the vehicles were "moving erratically" without lights or warning signals.

The New York Times confirmed that it had verified the timing and location of the video, in which a paramedic's voice is heard repeating the Shahada during the shooting.
