Tensions are escalating following the release of a video recorded by a paramedic working for the Palestine Red Crescent Society in Gaza shortly before he was killed. The video, released by the Red Crescent, documents the search for other missing paramedics in the area. The organization has condemned the deaths of 15 rescue workers, calling the incident "a full-fledged war crime."

The details of the investigation are currently unavailable.
