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.

      The main difference is Ukraine can defend itself, Gazans cant. Given that Russian forces have been constantly attcking power and food infrastructure and have even breached dams I think its fair to say they would do what Israel does if they could.

      Mehh. Both are war crimes, not sure if there is such thing being worse at that point.

      Evidence must be collected and perps will need to be hunted down in due course.

        We can get an idea by looking at stats of number of children and civilians killed.

        One country should be definitely worse than the other. Those stats are not the same number between Israel and Russia.

        So one is worse than the other.
