Report: Israeli strike in Syria risked direct military conflict with Turkey, U.S. envoy says

The Israeli military announced it would probe criminal misconduct in two recent attacks on Palestinians during the Gaza conflict. The case involving 5-year-old Hind Rajab and her family in Gaza City, where five passengers were killed in 2024, will be investigated due to alleged failures in coordination with the Palestine Red Crescent ambulance.

However, the military declined to take action in the March 2025 incident where 15 aid workers from Red Crescent, Palestinian Civil Defense, and UN were killed, as they deemed the firing to be a reasonable suspicion of criminal misconduct. Similarly, the military opted not to probe the airstrikes on World Central Kitchen and Doctors Without Borders in April 2024 and November 2023 and February 2024, respectively, citing errors in identifying the individuals in the vehicles.

The Palestinian Red Crescent's grandmother, Hind Rajab's maternal grandmother, called for an international investigation to hold all responsible accountable, emphasizing the need for justice for Gaza children.
