FIREFIGHTERS attended a fringe meeting with a difference on Thursday night, as experts presented evidence for a horrific war crime by the Israeli military.

Caline Matar, deputy director of the Earshot sound analysis company, introduced a report it compiled with the Forensic Architecture research group reconstructing the events of the night of March 23 2025 in Tel al-Sultan, Gaza — when Israeli soldiers massacred 15 aid workers.

The report combines witness testimony with analysis of sound recordings on victims’ radios and phones to demonstrate that Israeli forces fired on Palestinian ambulances and a fire engine from high ground before moving in to execute surviving aid workers at close range.

Ms Matar said the project was essential for historical accountability and to ensure the victims’ stories came to light, with a slim chance that the evidence — the given names of three Israeli soldiers have been identified — could lead to prosecutions if others co-operate, not least the RAF which flew surveillance flights over the site shortly afterwards.
