"In the early hours of 23 March 2025 in Tel al-Sultan, Gaza, Israeli forces massacred fifteen Palestinian aid workers: eight from the Palestine Red Crescent Society, six from the Palestinian Civil Defence, and one UNRWA staff member. Our investigation confirms that Israeli forces attacked the aid workers while they were travelling in clearly marked humanitarian vehicles, in the absence of any threat or exchange of fire. Spatial and audio analysis conducted in partnership with Earshot reveals the positions from which Israeli soldiers fired on the aid workers - in at least once instance within one to four metres of their victim - over a period of more than two hours. Working with the Palestine Red Crescent Society (PRCS) and survivors of the massacre, Earshot and Forensic Architecture (FA) conducted a joint investigation that reconstructs the incident with unprecedented precision, expanding the scope and findings of previous media investigations. Collaborative audio and spatial analysis of witness recordings was reinforced by new 'situated testimony' interviews with the two survivors of the massacre from PRCS, volunteer Munther Abed and paramedic Asaad al-Nassasra. Their firsthand accounts were situated within a detailed 3D digital model of the site of the incident. This reconstruction precisely located structures, vehicles and individuals throughout the incident, which in turn formed the basis of Earshot's audio analysis of the available recordings. This combined methodological approach allowed us to determine the extent, duration, and origins of the hundreds of rounds of bullets fired by Israeli soldiers at the aid workers over the course of the incident."-- provided by distributor.
