The Palestinians on Sunday released unusual footage showing armed fighters in the Balata refugee camp in Nablus disembarking from a vehicle disguised as an ambulance. According to Palestinian reports, the video was filmed approximately two and a half weeks ago during an IDF raid on the camp.
On the day of the operation, Palestinians reported the deaths of two individuals, including an 80-year-old woman.
Palestinian sources explained the delayed release of the footage, saying it had been held by a local shopkeeper in Balata and only surfaced now.

Not only is it perfidious, but it’s a war crime…
In the context of war, perfidy is a form of deceptive tactic where one side pretends to act in good faith, such as signaling a truce (e.g., raising a white flag), but does so with the deliberate intention of breaking that promise. The goal is to trick the enemy into lowering their guard, such stepping out of cover to accept a supposed surrender, only to exploit their vulnerability.
Perfidy constitutes a breach of the laws of war and so is a war crime, as it degrades the protections and mutual restraints developed in the interest of all parties, combatants and civilians.
I was going to ask that - that surely must be a breach of Geneva convention?
Israel has been committing war crimes this whole time and it hasn’t seemed to have had any negative effect on them, so I’m sure they don’t have any issue continuing to do so along with the genocide.
See there’s your problem; this isn’t a 'war" technically, so those rules don’t apply. Galaxy brain Bibi is working the loopholes and the US is tapping its forehead thinking “Smort”
War crimes can apply regardless of the scale of the conflict.
IDF and war crimes, name a more iconic duo
They’ve entered hospitals dressed as doctors to murder patients. The Zionists are fascist assholes.
It’s like every day they work hard to find a way to be even more atrocious than the last…
It’s genuinely disgusting how many people are okay with posing as healthcare staff in order to commit murders. It’s such an obviously evil thing that you will never be justified in doing.
It’s insult to injury that the IDF have been killing paramedics for years saying that all Palestinian ambulances are Hamas in disguise, turns out it’s just projection.
I’m sure the vehicle was not disguised. They just took one from the hospitals they bombed and raided.
Just toss it on the pile of war crimes.
Perfidy is a war crime.
That is not what the term combat medic means Israel.
What an odd way to write an article. No link to the actual video. Who are “the Palestinians”? Is the footage showing “Israeli forces” or just “armed fighters”? I can’t find any more information about this but Al Jazeera at least has the video.
Edit: OP also posted a link to the video in the comments.
Added the video in the article summary. They also show the video on the site.
Likewise I have no idea why there are zero other media outlets reporting on this. But the video leaves little to the imagination. Came across it through Franscesca Albanese.
I found this new article on Haaretz but I can’t see the full article. It does say
The IDF confirmed that forces, operating in the Balata Refugee Camp in Nablus about two weeks ago, arrived in a civilian ambulance.
