Every day, Muhammad Bahloul gambled his life in the hope of saving others. As a doctor at the Palestinian Red Crescent Society (PRCS), he was stepping into the unknown every working day, and he never knew whether he would return to his family.

A week before Eid Al -Fitr, Muhammad was sent to the Tel Rafah neighborhood in the Sultan to restore the wounded and death in the wake of the Israeli attacks. Soon after his arrival, he and a team of paramedics and the first respondents to the scene of the accident, the Israeli land forces cordoned off the area and closed all roads inside and outside. When PRCS lost her contact with her team, rumors began to spread through his Rafah that those who held inside will be slaughtered.

During the attempts of the rescue teams to reach the region, the United Nations workers witnessed civilians trying to flee who were shot dead. On March 29, they finally managed to reach the area where the PRCS teams were attacked. There, the teams discovered the remains of ambulances and vehicles to defend the United Nations and the civil defense in addition to one body – the paradise of Muhammad, Anwar Arat.

On March 30, on the first day of Eid Al -Fitr, they returned and revealed 14 other bodies buried in the sand in a mass grave. All of them were still wearing their official uniforms and wearing gloves. Among them was Muhammad and his colleagues, Mustafa Khafaja, two houses of Shazat, asked Muhammad, Radwan’s rurals, Ashraf Abu Laba, Muhammad Al -Haila, and Raid.

The killing of these paramedics is not an isolated incident. Israel systematically targets medical and rescue workers as part of its war genocide – a war against life itself in Gaza. Only in Gaza, medical uniforms and ambulances do not provide protection, which is provided by international law. Only in Gaza, medical uniforms and ambulances can distinguish people as targets for implementation.

In the seven painful days that the fate of Muhammad remained unknown, his father, Subhi Bahloul, a former director at Bir Al -Saba Secondary School in Rafah, which she knew for decades, and his mother is a success, for a miracle to save their son.

They imagined that Muhammad had escaped immediately before the area was closed, or that he was hiding under the rubble of a house, or perhaps he was kidnapped by the Israeli soldiers but was still alive. As Mahmoud Darwish, the Palestinian national poet, said the Palestinians suffer from “an inappropriate disease: hope.”

Although the Bahloul family dared to hope, it carried a dread that will not be seen again. They knew the stories. In January 2024, the paramedics were sent to rescue the six -year -old Hind Rajab, who lying in a car, wounded and bleeding, along with his dead relatives, were targeted and killed. Likewise, in December 2023, the paramedics who were sent to save the island’s photographer Al -Jazeera, Samemer Abouda, who was bleeding on a street in Khan Yunis, was sent after an Israeli drone hit him.

For seven days, fought hope. Sobhi wrote on Facebook above a picture of his non -selfish son: “May God return to you and all your colleagues to us safe and sound.”

The family has already suffered a lot during the genocide, after it lost many loved ones.

Early, they had to escape from their home in the east of Rafah to Al -Malasi in Khan Yunis, in search of a safety.

When the ceasefire was announced, the family returned to her home in the eastern part of his shelf with thousands of others.

They found that their house was destroyed, but they made their best to restore two rooms to jobs where they could sleep. During this period, the children resumed their education in temporary tents because many schools have been destroyed.

Just one week before Muhammad disappeared, an air strike settled the house across the street from the family’s house, and his father’s car was severely damaged. Once again, the family escaped, and they carried the little they left. With every displacement, their property diminished – an unbearable reminder that with the shrinkage of property, as well as dignity.

But Muhammad did not have time to help his father put another displacement tent. He immediately returned to his duty, worked around the clock with his colleagues in the paramedics in Khan Yunis, responded to endless calls for help, and rushed from horror to horror. Even during the month of Ramadan, the most sacred month of the year, he barely had a moment to break his fast with his family and play with his five children-including Adam, his three-month-old baby.

The holy month ended with the tragic news about his death.

On the feast, I tried to reach Sobhi, but there was no answer. On Facebook, I found these painful words: “We grieve our son, Muhammad Subahi Bahloul, the martyr of duty and human work. To God we belong, and we will return to him.”

Although the Israeli army tried to cover up its crime by burying it in the sand, the evidence talks about what happened. A statement issued by the Palestinian Ministry of Health said on March 30 that the Israeli forces carried out a execution and that some of the victims had been assigned by hand and wounded in the head and chest. The head of the United Nations Humanitarian Office in Palestine, Jonathan Whital, said that the paramedics and the first respondents were killed “one after another.”

Israel, of course, used the familiar playing book for denial and confusion. He first claimed that the paramedics are members of Hamas and the Palestinian Islamic jihad. Then she claimed that her soldiers shot the ambulances because they were “progressing suspiciously.”

Meanwhile, in a blatant satirical work, the Israeli government announced that it is sending a 22nd rescue task to Thailand and Myanmar after the deadly earthquake. Ten days ago, she sent a medical delegation to northern Macedonia. From Asia to Europe, it seems acceptable to be the countries that slaughtered more than 1,000 health workers and the first respondents in an illegal area that can pretend abroad.

It is clear that the Geneva Conventions, which protect medical staff in conflict areas explicitly, have become meaningless in Gaza. International bodies, designed to support human rights, continue to be angry with performance during failure to act. Western governments are still actively complicit in genocide by sending weapons and calling on Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu despite his arrest warrant issued by the International Criminal Court.

How long will the world see this Apple violence in silence? There seems to be any end of the them and crimes. The executions of these paramedics should have been a turning point, the moment of calculation. Instead, they are another testimony to impunity granted to the Zionist racist separation system.

I hope that the lives of those who died in Tal will take the constant in peace, and may take political leaders in the Western world in a shame.
