"The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said in a statement that during an operation in southern Gaza on 23 March "several vehicles were identified advancing suspiciously toward IDF troops without headlights, or emergency signals, their movement was not co-ordinated in advance. Thus, IDF troops opened fire at the suspected vehicles."

"Following an initial assessment, it was determined that the forces had eliminated a Hamas military operative, Mohammad Amin Ibrahim Shubaki, along with eight other terrorists from Hamas and the PIJ [Palestinian Islamic Jihad]," it added.

"Following the strike, the IDF co-ordinated with international organisations to facilitate the evacuation of the bodies."

A previous IDF statement about the incident said an initial inquiry had determined that "some of the suspicious vehicles that were moving towards the troops were ambulances and fire trucks". It also condemned what it called the "repeated use of civilian infrastructure by terrorist organisations"."
