The Palestine Red Crescent Society has called for an independent international inquiry into Israel's killing of 15 emergency workers in southern Gaza.

The organisation released the full video found on the phone of one of its eight paramedics who died when troops fired at a convoy of ambulances on 23 March, which it said constituted a "fully fledged war crime".

It called on those responsible to be held to account.

Israel's military said on Monday that a preliminary inquiry indicated troops "opened fire due to a perceived threat following a previous encounter in the area, and that six of the individuals killed in the incident were identified as Hamas terrorists", without giving evidence.
