A new independent investigation conducted by research groups Earshot and Forensic Architecture has revealed that Israeli soldiers fired over 900 bullets during an incident on March 23, 2025, which resulted in the deaths of 15 Palestinian aid workers. The humanitarian workers were trying to evacuate wounded Palestinians when they were met with gunfire from Israeli forces, who were positioned in an advantageous location with clear lines of sight. The report indicates that many of the workers were shot at close range, raising serious concerns about the conduct of the Israeli military during the operation.

The report is built on a comprehensive analysis of various forms of evidence, including eyewitness testimonies, mobile videos, audio recordings, satellite images, and other open-source materials. Researchers meticulously reconstructed the events minute by minute, revealing that a staggering 910 shots were documented, with the most intense firing occurring in just five and a half minutes, during which at least five shooters operated simultaneously to target the clearly marked ambulances that had their emergency lights activated. This level of coordinated gunfire, especially against identifiable medical personnel, has drawn widespread condemnation and underscores significant humanitarian and legal implications.

As the findings gain international attention, questions are being raised about accountability for actions taken by Israeli soldiers under the guise of military operations. The investigation's conclusions may fuel further scrutiny of military practices in conflict zones, particularly concerning the protection of civilians and medical personnel. The deaths of the Palestinian aid workers not only highlight the ongoing tensions but also call into question the rules of engagement in military operations involving humanitarian efforts, necessitating deeper discussions about international law and armed conflict regulations.
