AI Summary:
Autopsies of Gaza Medics Killed by Israeli Troops Show Some Were Shot in the Head The New York Times obtained autopsy reports for 14 of the 15 people killed in a March 23 attack on an ambulance and fire truck. Israeli troops had fired on ambulances and a fire truck sent by the Palestine Red Crescent Society and the Civil Defense, according to witness accounts, video and audio of the attack. Israel acknowledged carrying out the attack, which killed 15 men: 14 rescue workers, a United Nations employee who drove by Arne Stray-Pedersen reviewed photos of the autopsies and consulted with Dr. Dhair to write a summary report. The 14 men were wearing either their Red Crescent or Civil Defense uniforms, in part or in whole, at the time of death, the autopsy reports said. Video of part of the attack shows that when Israeli troops began shooting at them, a few of the paramedics had exited their vehicles. The autopsy reports do not mention whether any of the men had been tied up. A Red Crescent spokeswoman had also said that one paramedic was found with his hands and feet tied. Dr. Stray-Pedersen began consulting on the autopsies after the Gazan health ministry sought help from NORWAC, a Norwegian aid group.
