The IDF investigated itself and found possible 'criminal misconduct' in Gaza

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) has released the findings of five internal investigations into deadly attacks launched by its soldiers on aid and medical workers in Gaza during the ongoing war. The information dump represents the IDF's largest single disclosure of civilian deaths since the war began in October 2023. Two high-profile cases are now under criminal investigation by military police.

One case involves Australian charity worker Zomi Frankcom, who was killed, but soldiers have been cleared of wrongdoing in the other three cases. The findings were published by the General Staff Fact-Finding and Assessment Mechanism (FFAM), part of Israel's military responsible for initial investigations into suspected war crimes.

The IDF acknowledged for the first time it fired on the vehicle carrying five-year-old Hind Rajab and her family members, who survived the attack but were later found in a bullet-ridden car. The IDF also opened criminal investigations into incidents that killed 15 Palestinians, including Red Crescent paramedics, and seven humanitarian workers, including Australian woman Zomi Frankcom, in southern Gaza and Khan Yunis, respectively.
