Palestine Red Crescent says “Israel” army probe into medics' killing full of lies

The Palestine Red Crescent rejected the findings of an “Israeli” military investigation that blamed operational failures for the killing of 15 Gaza emergency service workers, denouncing the report as "full of lies".

"The report is full of lies. It is invalid and unacceptable, as it justifies the killing and shifts responsibility to a personal error in the field command when the truth is quite different," Nebal Farsakh, spokesperson for the Red Crescent, told AFP.

Earlier on Sunday, the head of an “Israeli” military probe into the killing of 15 Palestinian emergency workers in Gaza acknowledged a "mistake" on the part of troops involved in the incident.

"We're saying it was a mistake, we don't think it's a daily mistake," Major General Yoav Har-Even told journalists when asked if he thought the incident represented a pervasive issue within the “Israeli” military.

The military also confirmed detaining one medic since the incident on March 23.
