Medic survived Israeli attack by pleading in Hebrew, PRCS says
The head of the Palestine Red Crescent Society (PRCS) has said that a paramedic who survived an Israeli attack that killed 15 aid workers was spared because he asked soldiers for mercy in Hebrew, adding that he hoped the man’s testimony would help win justice.
Assaad al-Nassasra, a Red Crescent paramedic, survived Israeli shootings that killed 15 emergency and aid workers on March 23 in southern Gaza in an incident that drew international condemnation. Their bodies were found buried in a shallow grave a week later.
Al-Nassasra went missing and then was freed from Israeli detention on April 29 and has not yet publicly commented.
PRCS President Younis Al-Khatib told reporters in Geneva that al-Nassasra was spared after he pleaded in Hebrew and said his mother was a Palestinian citizen of Israel.
“What does Assaad say in Hebrew? ‘Don’t shoot. I am Israeli.’ And the soldier got a bit confused,” he told reporters. “That confusion … made him survive.”
“Assaad will be a witness that can put all the Israeli stories in shambles,” he added.

Gaza authorities say six officers guarding aid killed by Israel
The Gaza Government Media Office says an Israeli attack, consisting of eight strikes, has killed at least six security officers guarding humanitarian aid from looting.
Throughout the war, Israel has been targeting security officers around assistance convoys in what critics say is a deliberate policy to spread chaos and deepen the humanitarian crisis in Gaza.
“It has become clear that the [Israeli] occupation army is operating in a systematic way to enable looting the aid and medicine trucks to ensure that they do not reach those who need them,” the office said in a statement.
