Sixteen Red Crescent and Civil Defence workers were made to kneel at edge of pit then shot – IOF is blocking attempts to recover bodies
Satellite imagery obtained by the Al Jazeera news station’s Sanad fact-checking unit shows Red Crescent and Gaza civil defence vehicles clustered where their sixteen crew members were detained by Israel – and then executed, despite their mission having been first cleared with the occupation before it began, in front of the pit where their bodies were dumped and then located four days after they went missing:
An enhanced still of the imagery shows more clearly:
The vehicles and bodies were then buried under sand to obscure the location. Palestinian Civil Defence spokesman Mahmoud Basal told how the crews went missing:
So far, the victims’ Red Crescent and Civil Defence colleagues have only been able to recover one body, that of Civil Defence chief Anwar Al-Attar. The remaining team members are still missing and Israel has been reported to be ‘deliberately obstructing’ attempts to recover them for burial.
The BBC and other UK ‘mainstream’ media have ignored the atrocity, as have PM Keir Starmer and Foreign Secretary David Lammy, though Starmer has found time to post about potholes, Ukraine and ‘ninja swords’.

Stammer you greedy imp put your greed aside and banish Israel from these cruel acts it’s really is showing you up for just another devil
Not so much Nazi as SS.
Hang the war criminals.
And all hose aiding and abetting them across the Collective Worst in whatever capacity, ‘moral’ as well as material..
Like many on here I was raised on newsreels showing Nazis lining up Jews over a pit, then shooting each in the back of the head. This was usually followed by a commentary that the Nazis “had” to find a “more efficient” method of dealing with the folk who just happened to be born into a particular group. Let’s see … Nazis regarded Jews as less than human, Israelis regard Palestinians as less than human [check], those less than human can be executed whenever they are found [check], those less than human have no rights to ownership of land, valuables, or indeed life itself [check], Anyone aiding those folk less than human can be dealt with in the same way as the less-than-humans [check]. Strikes me that there’s only one more stage to go…
At least, in the late 1930s/early 1940s, the UK government of the time didn’t (a) supply the Nazi war machine with the right weaponry, (b) Didn’t create laws to “protect Nazis as a special group” (c) have selected high-ranking Nazis come to London to give instructions to the BBC and the Guardian how to show the Nazis in the best possible light (d) Have the PM of the time (Chamberlain) tell the world that the Nazis DID have the right to cut off various people from food, water, medical supplies etc (e) see journalists or aid workers such as the Red Cross as a legitimate target.
How has a UK government allowed itself to be dragged THIS low into disgusting immorality and an enthusiastic supporter of heinous war crimes?
It’s pure greed and absolutely no morals
Dehumanize the Palestinians, as Joe Biden did when he claimed Hamas had beheaded 40 Israeli babies, he even claimed to have seen photographs of same, when in fact no such atrocities had taken place, then it gives the Israeli authorities the excuse to Genocide the whole population. Biden, Trump, Starmer and Lammy are Genocidal monsters, who will be found accountable [one way or another] for their backing of the Apartheid Genocidal state.
