Israeli military opens probe into killing of Hind Rajab
Israel's military will open internal investigations over its troops' killings in Gaza of five-year-old Palestinian girl Hind Rajab in January 2024 and 15 emergency and aid workers in March 2025, although rights groups said such probes rarely lead to convictions.
The Israeli military has launched a criminal investigation into the killing of five-year-old Hind Rajab in Gaza in 2024 after her body was recovered from a car riddled with bullets. Hind's body, along with six relatives and two Palestinian Red Crescent rescuers, was found days after she made a desperate phone call to the Red Crescent on January 29, 2024.
The military previously denied its troops were present in the area near the incident. Allegations suggest that the ambulance's arrival at the scene was targeted by a shell, resulting in the deaths of two paramedics. The Palestinian NGO, Hind Rajab Foundation, expressed no confidence in the Israeli military's probe, stating that the investigations may not lead to genuine justice.
The Israeli military has also initiated criminal probes into four other high-profile incidents in Gaza, including the 2025 killing of 15 Palestinian medics and humanitarian personnel.
