A 🧵 about the Red Cross paramedics video.

So over the last two days, the Red Cross released a video that was over 6 minutes long which they state was recorded on a phone of one of the paramedics killed by the IDF in late March.

The video was sent to the NYT who published an article claiming the IDF lied and executed the paramedics from close range in cold blood.

I’m going to show you that the Red Cross, the NYT, and the media and multitude of propagandists who have pushed this story are lying.

The vast majority of the account given by the IDF is true and accurate.

2/

To start with I’m going to add the video being used by the media and propagandists. It’s just 48 seconds long and is deliberately edited and shortened to give a very different perspective and image than what really happened.

3/

Now before I go into the full video, I’m going to provide additional videos so that you as the readers can understand what I’m analysing and showing you.

In the full video, you’ll hear the 5 minutes of gunfire as mentioned in the shorter version.

My analysis found that there were three different types of rifles used during the shootings. You will be able to hear three different distinct sounds, but it’s important to know what it is you’re hearing and why it matters.

4/

Now the first video I’ll show is of two rifles that are most commonly used by Hamas and PIJ terrorists - the AK47, and the M4. Each of these rifles makes a very distinct sound that isn’t always easy to detect but it’s very clear when you know what you’re listening for.

The AK47 uses 7.62 x 39mm rounds. When this rifle is fired, it makes a higher pitch sound with a short ruffled echo.

The M4 uses 5.56 NATO rounds, and makes a lower pitch sound. It’s both a semiautomatic and a full automatic rifle. This is important for when you listen to the full video by the Red Cross.

Put your volume up and if you like, close your eyes and listen to the sounds each rifle makes when fired so that you keep it in memory.

5/

Now one other rifle used by Hamas, but not as common as the first two, is the AR15. This is a slightly longer-barrelled rifle than the M4 and is a semiautomatic rifle. However the M4 is based on the same design and takes the same ammo.

Here is a video with the AK47 and AR15 so you can again hear the difference in sounds, with the AK47 again being higher pitched and the AR15 slightly lower pitched.

6/

Now the next two videos will focus on the IDF rifles. Being a nighttime gunfight, the IDF soldiers would have used suppressors (silencers) as well as NV goggles to allow them to see clearly even in total darkness.

When you hear the sound of rifles using silencers, you can hear what sounds like clicking sounds rather than typical gunfire. And you hear that clicking so clearly throughout this video.

To understand what I mean by clicking, the following two videos will show this. This first video shows a shooter at a range firing an IMI Galil rifle with suppressor. The IDF use the 5.56 NATO rounds as standard with their rifles.

7/

To be thorough, I’ve added a second IDF rifle, the IWI Tavor X95 with 5.56 NATO rounds and a suppressor.

Again you will hear the clear clicking sounds of the rifle when fired with a silencer.

8/

Now with the above videos and sounds in mind (and please feel free to go back to any of the videos again to hear the sounds), below is the full part of the video by the Red Cross that has been omitted by the media and propagandists.

You will hear roughly 5 minutes of gunfire on and off, as well as the voice of the paramedic recording it and sporadically the voices of a few soldiers and other “people” involved in the shootout.

What my analysis has found is:

1. You will hear all three distinct sounds of the three different rifles.

2. You will hear the clear difference between rifle fire from rifles with and without suppressors.

3. You will clearly hear gunfire both originating close to the phone going away from the phone, as well as gunfire from a distance coming towards the phone. This is important as it shows that this was a shootout between two sets of armed forces - the IDF and armed terrorists.

4. From 00:01 to 00:23 you hear a barrage of several rifles firing at once and the distinctive clicking sound showing that these are shots using silencers.

5. At 00:26 you then hear a different rifle sound without a silencer.

6. At 01:48 there is a burst of gunfire that can easily be heard being fired from two different directions, with both the sounds of the higher pitched AK47 without a silencer as well as the clicking of the rifles with a silencer. At 02:06 you hear semiautomatic gunfire without a silencer.

7. At 02:48 you hear a 6 second burst of multiple clicking sounds denoting rifle fire with silencers.

8. At 03:56 you hear a further two-way gunfight with the different rifles being used simultaneously from different positions. Again this denotes a shootout between two parties.

9. At 04:04 you clearly hear rifle fire without suppression followed shortly after with the clicking sound of rifle fire with suppression. This continues for 7 seconds then stops for 7 seconds and starts again at 04:18 where again you hear the different weapons being fired from different positions. This continues for the next 52 seconds.

Hopefully this thread and analysis was able to shed some much needed light on what really transpired and may help with any investigations into this incident.

I hope you found this informative and as interesting as it was for me to analyze and write it.
