“There aren’t words strong enough to describe the cowardice and depravity of a “military” that will methodically execute medical workers, bury them in mass graves, and tell the NYT the vehicles were “advancing suspiciously” without lights on.
These soldiers and their superiors are utterly depraved and a threat to all humanity. Before hiding the bodies in a mass grave, they forgot to grab the cell phone of one of the medics who recorded his own assassination for the world to see — if it cares.
As the “soldiers” are nearing their vehicle, and the medic knows they will murder him, you can hear him saying: “Forgive us, everyone. Oh God, accept me as a martyr and accept my repentance. Oh mother, forgive me, this is the path I have chosen to help people.” Source
“The paramedic who filmed the video was found with a bullet in his head in the mass grave, Palestinian Red Crescent said. The footage was recovered from his phone.” – Farnaz Fassihi
