The Israeli military has acknowledged multiple "professional errors" and breaches of protocol that led to the death of 15 Palestinian medics and first responders in Southern Gaza's Rafah on March 23. An internal investigation of the incident revealed a "failure to report the incident," prompting disciplinary action against several officers, The Times of Israel reported.

According to the Israel Defence Forces (IDF), the deputy commander of the Golani Brigade's reconnaissance unit, which opened fire on a convoy of ambulances and emergency vehicles, has been dismissed, The Times of Israel reported. The unit commander is also being removed for filing a "partial and inaccurate" report on the incident, the IDF said.
