Ambulance driver killed by Israeli settlers as he tried to transport injured Palestinians, aid group says
An ambulance driver was killed by Israeli settlers as he tried to transport Palestinians who had been attacked by settlers in the West Bank, according to the Palestinian Ministry of Health and an aid organization.
The ministry identified the driver as Mohammed Awad Allah Mohammed Musa, 50, and said he worked with the Palestine Red Crescent Society (PRCS).
He was killed by settlers who opened fire on his ambulance, PRCS told CNN.
Another crew detained: In a separate incident, the Israel Defense Forces detained an ambulance crew at the entrance of the Thabet Thabet hospital in Tulkarm, West Bank, the PRCS reported.
In pictures shared by the organization, the ambulance crew is seen siting inside an IDF vehicle, surrounded by soldiers. PRCS says the crew was detained and interrogated while trying to carry out humanitarian work.
CNN has reached out to the IDF for comment.
Meanwhile, the IDF is currently carrying out one of its largest operations in the West Bank since the start of the war. The military said Saturday it has killed 10 “terrorists” in the ongoing raid at the Nur al-Shams refugee camp. It says eight IDF soldiers and one Border Force officer have been lightly or moderately injured in fighting.
