Israeli Forces Kill Medics in Gaza, Including Red Cross Workers, Amid Ongoing Conflict

In a tragic escalation of the ongoing conflict in Gaza, Israeli forces have killed at least 64 people, including medics, on the Muslim holiday of Eid al-Fitr. Among the casualties were seven workers from the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), who were killed while on a rescue mission in the region. The ICRC confirmed the deaths, marking a significant loss for the humanitarian organization.

The incident occurred amidst reports of Israeli forces firing at ambulances in Gaza, with Palestinian authorities claiming that several rescuers went missing in Rafah following the attacks. Israel has since admitted to targeting the vehicles, raising concerns about the safety of medical personnel and civilians in the conflict zone.

The violence on Eid al-Fitr, a day meant for celebration, has drawn international condemnation and calls for an immediate ceasefire. The deaths of the medics, including those from the Red Cross, underscore the dire humanitarian situation in Gaza and the urgent need for protection of those providing essential services.
