The Golani Brigade, responsible for the massacre of aid workers in Gaza

According to Guardian, the Zionist army has confirmed that on March 23, Golani forces, one of the five infantry brigades, opened fire on two ambulance convoys in Rafah and dug a mass grave to cover up the bodies of the victims until the bodies were discovered six days later by a UN team.

The exhumed bodies and newly released results show that several of the victims had close-range gunshot wounds to the head and chest, with their hands or feet bound.

A senior military intelligence source familiar with recent Israeli army deployments in southern Gaza told The Guardian that field agents from Unit 504, a military intelligence unit notorious for cruelty and reckless behavior, including torture, were also present during this attack.

In the Rafah attack, Golani forces operated under the command of the 14th Reserve Armored Brigade. The 14th Brigade is part of a division led by Brigadier General Yehuda Wach, whom former officers say established a "killing zone" in another part of the Gaza Strip, leading to the arbitrary killing of Palestinian civilians. Soldiers also claimed that Wach's "operational indiscipline" put soldiers' lives at risk.

Based on an investigation by the Israeli newspaper Haaretz, Wach also told soldiers that "there are no innocents in Gaza."

In a video of Golani forces before their redeployment to Gaza earlier this month, broadcast by Israel's Channel 14, a battalion commander appears to endorse a shoot-to-kill policy, telling soldiers: "Anyone you encounter is an enemy. Identify anyone, kill them."

Golani soldiers had previously been accused of war crimes in the conflict, including killing civilians, mistreating corpses, unnecessarily destroying civilian infrastructure, and inciting genocide.

Many of the accusations against Golani soldiers come from photos and videos posted on social media by the soldiers themselves and collected in legal files by the Hind Rajab Foundation, a nonprofit organization aimed at holding Israeli military personnel accountable for war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza.
