Gaza, MINA – Israel occupation continues to refuse facilitating a rescue mission for nine Palestinian paramedics trapped in Rafah, southern Gaza, according to the Red Crescent Society, Anadolu Agency reported.
The organization stated on Tuesday, “For the third consecutive day, the fate of nine Palestine Red Crescent ambulance crew members remains unknown after they were besieged and targeted by Israeli occupation forces in Rafah.”
The medical team was targeted and besieged on Sunday during a rescue operation for injured civilians in Rafah. The Red Crescent Society voiced deep concern over the safety of its paramedics and held Israel fully responsible for their fate.
Meanwhile, the Israeli army has launched a surprise aerial campaign on the Gaza Strip since March 18, killing at least 730 people and injuring nearly 1,200 others, despite a ceasefire and prisoner exchange agreement in place since January.
