Hello, and welcome to NewsHour live from the BBC World Service in London.
I'm Rebecca Kezbi.
Military officials in Israel have admitted their soldiers made mistakes
as they put it when they opened fire on a convoy of unarmed Palestinian Red Crescent emergency workers on 23 March near Rafa in the south of the Gaza Strip,
killing 15 people.
The new statement directly contradicts earlier comments about the attack previously the Israeli Defence Force had claimed the vehicles approached suspiciously in darkness without headlights or flashing lights.
Now this new admission of mistakes follows the emergence of a video captured by one of the emergency workers himself,
in which flashing emergency lights on the ambulances and fire truck can clearly be seen.
The workers can also be seen in uniform, while paramedic Rafat Radwan managed to record the attack on his mobile phone.
We can hear part of that recording now.
Over the gunfire, you can hear Rafat desperately saying his last prayers before he was also shot and killed,
and it is an upsetting listen.
That is the voice of paramedic Rafat Radwan there, and he died shortly after that moment.
That video was only discovered when his body was found in a shallow grave along with his colleagues,
officials say the Israeli troops wanted to protect the bodies from wild animals.
They say the vehicles were also buried to clear the road, more on that in a moment,
but the video was given to Farnaz Fasihi of the New York Times.
She's United Nations Bureau Chief for the newspaper and she told us here on News Hour how she got hold of the video.
The video was recovered from the body of one of the paramedics who we see in the video filming and we hear his voice.
