Israeli media are citing military sources about the initial investigation into the killing of the 15 Palestinian medics near Rafah last month.
According to their investigation, six of the 15 people killed in the convoy are believed to be Hamas operatives.
The statement says intelligence agencies have evidence to suggest this, but final confirmation has not yet been made.
A Golani Brigade force, which was at the scene and had set up an ambush near the road, two hours before the incident, observed the ambulances stopped and the occupants quickly exiting.
The force, aware that Hamas uses ambulances, sensed an immediate threat and believed they were under attack.
The statement goes on to say that regarding the discrepancy between the army’s initial account, which stated that the convoy moved without lights, and the video published tonight in international media, the army acknowledges an error.
It says an investigation will examine this discrepancy.
Al Jazeera’s Nour Odeh has more from Amman, Jordan. She’s there because the Israeli government and the Palestinian Authority have banned Al Jazeera from reporting inside Israel and the occupied West Bank.
