As Israeli war crimes in Gaza mount, this should not be too surprising:
“All of a sudden we were targeted [by an air attack] and we ran for safety,” Taha, a paramedic, told Al Jazeera. The emergency team jumped into their cars on Salah al-Din Road and the vehicles proceeded a few metres before another air strike hit.
Three of his colleagues were killed and Taha was lightly injured. “Our mission is humanitarian, we provide humanitarian service only, and we were targeted without any reason, without any excuse,” he said.
It was no one-off incident. Health authorities and medical organisations in the Gaza Strip have accused Israel of deliberately bombing ambulances and health facilities in the besieged enclave, in breach of international rules that catalogue such attacks as war crimes.
Can anyone defend the murder of paramedics and the bombing of ambulances by Israel?
This is in addition to the murder of 500 Palestinian children by Israel this week.
Should US aid be immediately cut off, and UN troops sent in to oppose Israeli war crimes?
