On October 11, 2023, three male paramedics belonging to the Palestinian Red Crescent were killed while carrying out humanitarian work in the Al-Nada Towers vicinity area after the ambulance vehicle was directly hit by an alleged Israeli airstrike. The victims – Khalil Al-Sharif (28 years old), Ahmad Dahman (33 years old), and Yisri Al-Masri (58 years old) – were colleagues.

The Palestinian Red Crescent Society said in a statement that Israeli forces bombarded “an ambulance belonging to it in the Abraj al-Nada area in the North Gaza Governorate.” The ambulance was bombed while transporting injured people, according to the local source (Hilal Ahmar Falastini). However, local sources did not mention any other injured civilians from the strike.

According to Anadolu News, there was no immediate comment from Israeli officials on the targeting of the ambulance.

Where possible, names have been matched with the Palestinian Ministry of Health list of fatalities in Gaza released on October 26th, 2023.

Further details are unknown.
