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.

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.

Zoinks, Scooby we've solved the mystery!

You still miss (intentionally?) some key elements & the reality of / surrounding the event:

1) Hamas used / uses ambulances to transport weapons and fighters.

2) Hamas engages in deception before attacks (See: 10/7, etc.)

3) The war is still ongoing (hot) as long as Hanas is in power and holding hostages, etc, regardless of what anyone says.

4) IDF soldiers will likely continue to err on the side of caution when faced with a similar situation.

5). The IDF may well have been misled by their own forces about the event, but they took disciplinary action.

6) Hamas is ultimately responsible FOR ALL OF THIS.

7) The IDF is STILL orders of magnitude more accountable than Hamas.

8) The attack on the Hamas ambulances can been explained as a fog of war event: 10/7 cannot.

9). Fuck Hamas.

Do you just copy and paste from your previous posts? New atrocities are being committed by Israel. Your canned response doesn't work anymore.

Um, it’s basically RDS flogging the same nearly dead horse, so, yeah, my response is going to be consistent.

Also:

My responses were NEVER intended to “work” as persuasion - I know that is a hopeless endeavor. My responses were / are more about balance and perspective.

😑

Also:

Anyone who was paying attention would have recognized / realized that my responses became firmly “lean Israel” when the pro-"Palestine" crowd started filibustering about how terrible Israel was / is ON OCTOBER 8TH 2023.

🤬

The pro- "Palestine" crowd lost me forever and for always on 10/8 2023.

🤬

On a side note for balance:

Netanyahu lost me forever and for always long before 10/7 2023, but it had nothing to do with Gaza, etc, and everything to do with corruption and authoritarianism.

🤬

That does not absolve Israel of responsibility.

Big picture???

Yeah, it does.

😑

Small picture???

Israel consequenced those with command authority for the actions of their soldiers and their attempt to cover up a FUBAR situation - despite the soldiers simply exercising an excess of caution when placed in a difficult / impossible position.

😑

We. Told. Them. So.

🌷
 
🙄

Sans the Hamas 10/7 rape, torture, murder, and kidnapping operation, NONE of the recent death and devastation in Gaza, etc, happens. (See also: Every previous beat down Israel gave their enemies in retaliation / response to unprovoked or cowardly attacks.)

😑

So, slightly less than 2,000 dead and hostages requires reducing Gaze to a moonscape and killing in excess of 40,000 people?

Cause & Effect. Full stop.

Also:

Who the fuck is anyone to tell the Israelis how to respond to an ACTUAL genocidal atrocity like 10/7 and the continuing hostage crisis / Jihad???

🤔

Also:

I really don’t like what is happening right now with Israel being unfettered / untethered by DonOld and expanding their designs on Gaza, etc, but that is APPARENTLY what the pro-"Palestine" crowd WANTED when they trashed President Biden & Vice President Harris, and when they either voted for DonOld & the MAGAt republicans or withheld their votes for Vice President Harris & the Democrats. (I voted for Vice President Harris and the Democrats).

What you resist, you become.
 
Big picture. Hamas started a war. Mistakes happen in a war. Too bad. Move on. Most of them were probably Hamas anyhow so no biggie.
If I recall correctly, your baby daddy was a Marine Corps captain.

Ask him about the following scenario:
1. His platoon captures a bunch of bad guys.
2. The bad guys surrender peacefully and are unarmed.
3. Your baby daddy, a righteous Marine, issues a standing order to his Marine platoon that the prisoners are not to be harmed.
4. As he turns and walks away, an angry private (we'll call him "Private Bobo") says fuck that, and executes every prisoner with a shot to the back of the head.
5. Would your USMC baby daddy accept a shrug and "Mistakes happen in a war" snark as an excuse?
 
More of the same of what Israel has always done, but doing it too visibly is starting to cost public support. There are plenty of precedents. The My Lai slaughter was typical of how the US waged war in rural Vietnam. News finally got out of one slaughter and that turned the tide.
 
Curious if you can please point out an army that has never committed field errors and civilian casualties. I will wait.
Hint: You can't.
Also, once they release the hostages, the war is over. Until then, every single casualty on either side is the fault of Hamas.
 
Not necessarily. The question then arises, what happens to the Gaza Strip and its people? Without their elected government -- Hamas -- who will govern them? That question could lead to more war.
Not my problem. Let Trump turn it into a resort. Israel will never allow them to rebuild. They launched a suicide war and lost (anything short of Israel's destruction is a loss). Also, Hamas won one election and never held another. Israel will continue to pound them until they get the hostages back and every single dead Arab is due to their homicidal jihad. They wanted death and they got it.
 
It is the Israelis' and the Palestinians' problem -- and a problem like that somehow seems to involve everybody else sooner or later.
Nah, Hamas and Palestinians are in a death cult. They knew that this would happen. They want to die as martyrs. Israel is helping them but would end if today if they got the hostages back.
Looking forward to the casino hotels on the Rafah beach because they ruined their country and it will never ever be theirs again.
 
I can, but I am focused on the 2 million in Gaza. There was universal support for October 7 in that territory. I doubt 2% were against it. They were so happy to see the girls being raped and the kidnappings. Men, women and children. It is a pirate nation. They are like criminals who do the crime and are shocked at the time. They thought Israel would cave, perhaps? Not sure. They are not sane or rational. There was a poll of Palestinians a few weeks ago and something like 87% in Gaza and West Bank have no regrets about Oct 7. Nuff said.
