US says law applies to 'all parties' in Gaza after Israel kills medics
Mourners gathered at a funeral on Monday after the bodies of 15 people, including paramedics and a UN worker, were found in a mass grave, according to the UN
The US has said it expects "all parties on the ground" in Gaza to comply with international humanitarian law but declined to confirm whether it was carrying out its own assessment into the killing by the Israeli military of 15 people - paramedics, civil defence workers and a UN official.
Asked about the killings, state department spokeswoman Tammy Bruce said: "Every single thing that happens in Gaza is happening because of Hamas."
The UN's humanitarian agency has said five ambulances, a fire truck and a UN vehicle were struck "one by one" on 23 March and that 15 bodies, including paramedics still in their uniforms, had been gathered and buried in a mass grave.
