The Gaza Civil Defense condemned the attack, describing it as a “full-fledged war crime” and a blatant violation of international laws that guarantee the protection of medical and rescue teams.

In an initial statement, the agency stressed this was not the first incident, saying its crews have been repeatedly and systematically targeted by ‘Israeli’ forces, putting their lives at constant risk and obstructing efforts to reach victims trapped under the rubble.
