Israeli forces bombed an ambulance in Rafah, killing two Palestinian paramedics on a rescue mission, according to the Palestine Red Crescent Society (PRCS).

The pair, identified as Haitham Tubasi and Suhail Hassouna, were “deliberately” targeted while in a PRCS ambulance in the Tel al-Sultan area in western Rafah, the medical group said.

The charity added that they were killed while “they were performing their humanitarian duty”.

Their bodies were retrieved on Thursday by their colleagues, who were moved to tears as they buried them in Rafah.

“The Israeli occupation forces deliberately bombed the ambulance vehicle despite it bearing the internationally protected Red Crescent emblem,” PRCS said on social media platform X.

I don't know what Israel is trying at any longer.. It's just like they are actively trying to become the villain as fast as possible!

They are trying a genocide, looking like the villain while doing it kind of comes with the territory.

They've been the villain for 75 years. Only difference is that now the mask is fully off.

It's not a red line. Red crescent and red cross are OK to bomb I guess
