It appears that the IDF killed medics in ambulances with emergency lights on and high vis clothing, then lied about it. So nothing should surprise us at this point.

Dehumanizing the other side (whatever the other side is) is often abhorrent. The article references another UN report that investigates similar actions by the idf and find that it is a standard procedure. Now, that's abhorrent

That would be a more correct sentiment to apply to anything the IDF says, given the number of times it has been caught lying. Even by the BBC, which as an institution (brave reporters aside), have been anything but even-handed in their selection and presentation of the genocide in Gaza.

No worries, US is gonna give them 4 billion in aid instead of 10 billion as punishment.

I have to tread lightly on this subject of course--

While I agree with calls for Hamas to "return the hostages," I feel exactly the same towards the thousands of Palestinians kept in Israeli prisons, often innocent, often without charge, often underage, often beaten, tortured, or sexually abused.

Israel has long used torture against Palestinian civilians. Some examples.

Got any evidence for any of these allegations?
