An Israeli probe into the killings of Palestinian medics in Gaza says it has found professional failures and a deputy commander will be fired.

The findings issued on Sunday come after the killings of 15 medics last month by Israeli forces. Israel at first claimed that the medics' vehicles did not have emergency signals on when troops opened fire but later backtracked.

Cellphone video recovered from one of the medics contradicted Israel's initial account of the shooting.

The military investigation found that the deputy battalion commander, due to poor night visibility, assessed that the ambulances belonged to Hamas militants.

Video footage obtained from the incident shows the ambulances had lights flashing.
