Israeli probe into killing of paramedics in Gaza finds ‘no evidence’ of execution

An Israeli probe into the killings of Palestinian paramedics that sparked international outrage has found “no evidence to support claims of execution,” the army has said in a statement.
“Such claims are blood libels and false accusations against [Israeli] soldiers,” it said.
That’s despite multiple testimonies and evidence of execution-style killings, and the Israeli army only changing its account of the killings after a video emerged contradicting its claim that the convoy had approached “suspiciously”. In fact, the footage revealed that the convoy – ambulances, a fire truck and a UN vehicle, were clearly marked and had their lights on.
The Israeli statement added that a deputy commander would be fired after the examination “identified several professional failures, breaches of orders, and a failure to fully report the incident.”
