It's Another Easter Sunday Miracle!
The report details how the IDF terrorist troops disobeyed standing orders to NOT fire on Red Crescent ambulances ("bad optics" as Trump might say),.and massacred the convoy. They then shot a United Nations worker who happened to be following a few minutes behind the convoy and who might have witnessed the massacre.
The military said the soldiers then buried the dead ambulance crews in a shallow mass grave, which they took pains to point out was not "wrong" (I can see their point on this, leaving dead bodies to rot in the sun is a recipe for cholera), however, the military unit then had heavy machinery come out and crush all the ambulances flat and buried those as well. The Israeli government said they should NOT have done that.
The IDF terrorist infantry brigade wrote up the fiction that the ambulances were running without headlights and in dark uniforms at night, and the Israeli government stood firmly behind this fiction until the New York Times obtained a cell phone video of one of the ambulance drivers documenting the atrocity. The embarrassed Israeli government had to walk back that fiction and demanded an investigation.
The Israeli brigade commander was issued a written reprimand for the actions of the troops acting in violation of orders under his command (this is common in the military...commanders bear ultimate responsblility for the actions of their troops, I'm genuinely surprised that the Israelis hold their officers to this standard...or any standard, for that matter), This essentially ends the brigade commander's promotability and most likely his career.
The Israeli deputy brigade commander, however, was thrown under the proverbial bus. He was relieved of his duties and dismissed from the military for fabricating the cover story to cover his ass and his troops' collective asses. While lying to the general public is considered an art form by the IDF, lying to their Israeli government superiors (and making the Israeli government look bad) is not acceptable.

Israel IDF Concludes Palestinian Ambulance Massacre Investigation: We Made ‘Professional Failures’ in Killings of Gaza Medics
In a statement summarizing its investigation into the deadly episode, the military said a deputy commander would be dismissed.The Israeli military said Sunday that an investigation into its soldiers’ deadly attack on medics in Gaza last month had identified “several professional failures” and that a commander would be dismissed.
The military had previously acknowledged carrying out the attack in Rafah, southern Gaza, that killed 14 rescue workers and a United Nations employee who drove by after the others were shot. But it had offered shifting explanations for why its troops fired on the emergency vehicles and said it was investigating the episode, one that prompted international condemnation and that experts described as a war crime.

The deadly shootings of the rescue workers resulted from “an operational misunderstanding” by troops on the ground “who believed they faced a tangible threat from enemy forces.” Firing on a U.N. vehicle, the statement added, involved “a breach of orders” in a combat setting.
