Israel gibt zu, dass „fälschlicherweise“ 15 Hilfsmitarbeiter nach Videoleck getötet werden

Israel has admitted it may have made a mistake when soldiers opened fire on unarmed Red Crescent ambulances in an incident in which 15 aid workers were killed last month.

In a briefing to journalists on Saturday night, an Israel Defence Forces (IDF) official said that soldiers had “mistakenly” identified the paramedics as a threat and that the incident was under “thorough investigation”.

He added that all claims “will be examined thoroughly and in depth in order to understand the conduct of the incident”.

The briefing took place after footage was discovered contradicting [Israel’s](https://www.thetimes.com/topic/israel) account of the attack. The military claimed the vehicles did not have their headlights or emergency signals on and were not clearly marked with insignia. The IDF said the vehicles looked “suspicious” and were carrying nine Hamas and Islamic Jihad gunmen
