Autopsies confirm Gaza medics were shot in head, chest: Report
The New York Times is reporting that most of the paramedics and rescue workers who were killed in Gaza last month were shot in the head or chest, confirming reports they were “executed” by Israeli forces.
The New York Times says it saw autopsy reports for 14 of the 15 aid workers killed in the attack, not including one UN worker who was also killed.
The autopsies were performed by Dr Ahmad Dhair, the head of the Gaza Health Ministry’s forensic medicine unit, after the bodies were recovered from where Israeli soldiers buried them in southern Gaza, alongside their ambulances.
Top UK barrister: Israel is carrying out ‘destruction of humanity’ in Gaza
Ten British citizens, including dual nationals, who have served in the Israeli army are being accused of war crimes in Gaza.
They are suspected of acts such as “murder, extermination, attacking civilians, and deportation or forcible transfer of population”, according to the Palestinian Centre for Human Rights and the UK-based Public Interest Law Centre, which submitted a 240-page report to the Metropolitan Police’s War Crimes Unit last week.
Michael Mansfield, 83, a leading barrister who has worked on several high-profile cases throughout his career and is dubbed “the king” of human rights work, was among those who handed over the dossier that took a team of lawyers and researchers in the UK and The Hague six months to compile.
Dozens of other lawyers, researchers and human rights practitioners have signed a letter of support, urging the Met’s war crimes team to investigate the complaints.
Gaza, a ‘mass grave’ for Palestinians and those helping them: MSF
Palestinian lives are being systematically destroyed as Israel’s continued bombardment of the Gaza Strip shows a “blatant disregard” for the safety of humanitarian workers, Doctors Without Borders, or MSF, has warned.
“Gaza has been turned into a mass grave of Palestinians and those coming to their assistance. We are witnessing in real time the destruction and forced displacement of the entire population in Gaza,” said Amande Bazerolle, MSF’s emergency coordinator in the enclave.
Medical facilities are not exempt from attacks and evacuation orders by Israeli forces. MSF teams have had to leave many facilities, while others continue operating with staff and patients trapped inside, unable to leave safely for hours at a time, a statement from the charity reads.
Operating inside Gaza has become extremely challenging, and according to the group:
- MSF reported strikes from both Hamas and the Israeli army near its field hospital in Deir el-Balah, central Gaza.
- Israeli forces also carried out strikes near the compounds of Al-Aqsa and Nasser hospitals.
- Since March 18, MSF said it has not been able to return to the Indonesian hospital in northern Gaza where the charity’s teams were set to begin paediatric care.
- MSF mobile clinics in north Gaza were suspended, and in the south, teams have been unable to return to the Shaboura clinic in Rafah.
- The full siege on Gaza has depleted food, fuel and medical stocks. MSF is especially facing shortages in medications for pain management and chronic illnesses, antibiotics and critical surgical materials.
- The lack of fuel replenishment across the Strip will lead to the suspension of activities as hospitals rely on generators for electricity to keep critical patients alive and conduct lifesaving operations.
Israeli helicopters, artillery attack southern Gaza homes, refugee camps
Palestinian media also report that Israeli attack helicopters are firing on Rafah city in the southern Gaza Strip, and the town of Abasan al-Kabira has also come under heavy Israeli artillery attack in nearby Khan Younis.
Artillery attacks have also been reported in the last hour on the Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza, as well as the Bureij camp.
We reported earlier that three people were killed in an attack on the Jabalia refugee camp in northern Gaza earlier this morning, and six were killed overnight in an Israeli attack on the Hassouna family in the Tuffah neighbourhood of Gaza City.
Palestinian journalist, 10 family members killed in Israeli air strike
A Palestinian journalist and 10 members of her family were killed in an Israeli air strike that targeted their home in Gaza City, Wafa news agency is reporting.
The report said that Israeli warplanes bombed the home of journalist Fatima Hassouneh in Tuffah neighbourhood, east of Gaza City, killing her, alongside her relatives.
Since the war on Gaza began, more than 210 Palestinian journalists and media workers have been killed by Israeli attacks.
Gaza death toll rises to 51,025
Here are some figures from the enclave’s Health Ministry:
- Twenty-five people have been killed in Israeli strikes in the Gaza Strip since early this morning.
- Israeli attacks have killed 1,652 people and wounded 4,391 in the territory since Israel broke a ceasefire with Hamas on March 18, 2025.
- Since the war broke out on October 7, 2023, 51,025 Palestinians were killed and 116,432 were wounded. Thousands are still considered missing.
- No aid has entered since March 2, risking a surge in malnutrition, disease and other preventable conditions.
- About 400,000 people have been forcibly displaced in the last three weeks.
