Fox News Reporter Calls Out Israeli Military Claim on Gaza Aid Worker Killings: ‘That Is Clearly Not True’

Fox News foreign correspondent Trey Yingst is directly challenging the Israeli military’s explanation for a deadly March attack in Gaza that killed 15 aid workers, citing new video evidence that appears to contradict official claims.

On Saturday, Yingst posted a series of statements on X, reporting that a new video “shows Israeli forces open firing on medics in Gaza.”

He said he had spoken with the Israel Defense Forces “multiple times about this day,” and was told that “several vehicles were identified advancing suspiciously toward IDF troops without headlights, or emergency signals.”

“That is clearly not true,” Yingst wrote on social media above a clip of the attack.

The footage, originally obtained by the Palestine Red Crescent Society (PRCS) and verified by Sky News, shows a convoy of ambulances and a fire truck traveling with their flashing emergency lights visible on March 23,

The aid convoy was moving south near Rafah in southern Gaza. According to Sky News, the video captured the moment Israeli forces opened fire on the vehicles.

Gunfire erupted as aid workers exited. One paramedic recorded reciting a death prayer.

“Forgive me, mother… I chose this path only to help people,” he said before the clip cut out.

Fifteen aid workers were later found dead in what was described as a “mass grave” by the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs.

The dead included eight PRCS medics, six civil defense workers, and a UN employee.

Yingst also criticized the IDF’s follow-up statements, saying they have claimed  “without evidence” that nine of the people in the convoy were members of Hamas or another terror group.

“In the course of our reporting, we have pressed for any hard evidence to support that additional claim. None has been provided,” he wrote on X.

The IDF has since said the incident is “under thorough examination.”
