Israel has backtracked on its initial account of how 15 Palestinian first responders were killed near Rafah on March 23, after a video retrieved from one of the deceased workers' phones appeared to contradict its version of events.
An Israeli Defence Forces (IDF) official, speaking on condition of anonymity over the weekend, acknowledged that its original claim the emergency vehicles had proceeded "suspiciously" and "without headlights or emergency signals" had been "mistaken."
