Haitham al-Hams, deputy director of ambulance and emergency services in Rafah, said Israeli quadcopters are attacking residents of Rafah city who have remained despite it now being the main focus of Israel’s war on the Gaza Strip, reports Al Jazeera.
“We are receiving numerous calls for help from citizens as quadcopters are targeting displaced people in these areas where they are staying – even in the safe areas,” al-Hams told the media.
“The difficulty for ambulances to reach those areas is great due to the targeting of the emergency teams,” he said.
“Yesterday, a car belonging to the civil defence was struck,” he added.
Human rights groups reported in February that Israeli forces were increasingly using electronic-controlled quadcopters – fitted with machine guns and missiles – for killing and injuring Palestinians.
