Just to summarize and being conservative with interpretation of events :
- On 23 March, IDF ambushes a convoy of 5 ambulances, a fire truck and a UN vehicle responding to a distress call.
- 15 paramedics and aid workers are massacred. There is 1 survivor.
- Israel buries the bodies in shallow graves along with ambulances and the the fire truck and bulldoze over the site. This is picked up by satellite imagery.
- Israel blocks access to the area and refuses to cooperate with agencies trying to find & recover the bodies.
- The IDF and Israeli foreign minister claims that the vehicles were "advancing suspiciously toward IDF troops without headlights or emergency signals" and it eliminated "a hamas military terrorist ... who took part in the October 7 attack" and "eight other terrorists" from Hamas and PIJ .
- Lone survivor gives own account contradicting Israeli's version of events.
- The mass grave and bodies are uncovered on 30th March. A smartphone with the relevant footage is found among the remains.
- Smartphone footage recovered repudiates all of Israel claims and corroborates the survivor's account. That the emergency vehicles had their emergency lights and headlights on, many of the workers were wearing high-viz jackets. No weapons, or terrorists or IDF in sight.
- None of the names of the victims match the names of the "terrorists" given by Israel. The "hamas October 7 terrorist" is also not among the bodies.
- Israel "admits" it "made a mistake" and is "investigating".Looking at the headlines and articles, I have to say that the BBC and the western media outlets did a better job burying the lede than Israel did, burying the bodies.
