Two paramedics killed in Israeli bombing of ambulance in Rafah: PRCS
The Palestine Red Crescent Society (PRCS) has now confirmed that two paramedics were killed in the attack in Rafah’s Tal as-Sultan area. The PRCS said Israeli forces carried out a “direct bombing” of the ambulance, killing paramedics Haitham Tubasi and Suhail Hassouna.
The Israeli military has not yet commented on the incident.

Israeli drones open fire on fleeing Palestinians in Rafah
Rafah residents say Israeli tanks pushed into Tal as-Sultan in the west along with Yibna and near Shaboura in the centre of the southernmost Gaza city. They later retreated towards a buffer zone on the border with Egypt, rather than staying put as they have in other offensives.
“We received distress calls from residents in Tal as-Sultan where drones targeted displaced citizens as they moved from areas where they were staying toward the safe areas,” said Haitham al-Hams, deputy director of ambulance and emergency services in Rafah.
Health Minister Majed Abu Raman urged the United States to pressure Israel to open the Rafah crossing to aid, saying there was no indication Israeli authorities will do so soon and patients in besieged Gaza are dying from lack of treatment.
