Israel Caught Lying to Cover Up Its Latest War Crimes

In the wake of Rifaat Radwana’s final statements, which can be heard in a video posted by WikiLeaks on April 5, 2025, which depicted Israeli occupation forces firing upon medics and aid workers in Rafah, Gaza, the IDF has since constructed a revised narrative that incorporates the mention of a “Hamas police car” alongside the Gaza paramedics.
The initial assertion made by the IDF states that they utilized a bulldozer to cover the bodies of the medics and their vehicles with sand “to shield them from animals.” However, all indications suggest that they were burying evidence of their wrongdoing.
As usual, Israel is attempting to cover-up its latest war crime by spinning an outrageous and contrived narrative – in a craven attempt to blame innocent victims.
The revised account raises numerous unanswered questions and further diminishes the reliability of Israel’s official story…

After Video Exposes Aid Workers’ Execution, Israeli Army Issues New Dubious Story
GAZA (Quds News Network) – The Israeli army released a new and different story of its attack on ambulances in Rafah, following the release of a video that exposed the execution of 14 aid workers and debunked its earlier claims. The new story is inconsistent, lacks evidence, and ignores key facts shown in the footage.
Israeli public broadcaster Kan reported details from the military’s internal investigation. According to the army, Israeli forces opened fire after a “Hamas police car” approached them. Soldiers claimed they felt threatened and fired, killing one person.
Later, ambulances arrived at the scene. The army said soldiers thought they were under attack again and opened fire on the rescue teams. The report claimed medics were “running toward the Hamas police vehicle,” and that the soldiers believed they posed a threat.
The army admitted that emergency lights may have been on but said the lack of visibility wasn’t an intentional lie. It also claimed a bulldozer buried the medics’ bodies and vehicles under sand “to protect them from animals.”
However, the report did not explain how some bodies were found handcuffed, one beheaded, and others executed at close range with bullets to the head. Nor did it address why ambulances were deliberately buried to hide the evidence.
The army’s new version contradicts previous footage published by international media. Videos clearly showed that emergency lights on the ambulances were flashing during the attack, proving the vehicles were visibly marked as humanitarian.
In its initial response, the Israeli military claimed the ambulances lacked lights or clear medical markings. That was quickly debunked.
Now, the army adds a new twist—suggesting that what it described as a “Hamas police vehicle” passed the area an hour earlier and that its presence confused the soldiers. But this explanation lacks logic. Gaza police are known targets for Israeli forces and rarely move during invasions, especially not with flashing lights near tanks.
The claim about “protecting the bodies from animals” also rings hollow. The same army has left hundreds of Palestinian bodies in the open throughout the genocide, often mutilated. In many cases, Israeli soldiers filmed themselves desecrating corpses and shared the videos publicly.
The new version of events leaves many questions unanswered and further undermines the credibility of Israel’s official narrative.
This is not the first time the Israeli army has issued contradictory narratives, only to have each one exposed as a lie.
At the start of the genocide, when the Israeli army bombed Al-Ahli Baptist Hospital in Gaza and killed around 500 didplaced civilians, the military spokesperson released three different accounts within just a few hours.
First, he claimed, “We warned the hospital and five others to evacuate.” But realizing how disastrous that admission would be on the international stage, he quickly shifted to a second version: that Hamas fighters were operating from the hospital. However, journalists who had been stationed at the hospital for 12 days straight debunked that claim immediately.
By the following morning, the spokesperson settled on a third version: the explosion was caused by a misfired rocket from Islamic Jihad.
With no real evidence supporting any of the claims [claims made by Israel], each narrative collapsed under scrutiny. One by one, the stories were shown to be false, revealing a pattern, not just a mistake.
