Palestinian responder Rana Faqih, who spoke with Hind Rajab for hours before she was killed by Israeli troops in Gaza, told The National that a comprehensive investigation is necessary. Israel has admitted firing on the car carrying the child five days after the world blamed its military for the 355 bullets that hit the vehicle, killing six members of her family.
"From the outset, the [Palestine Red Crescent] Society has demanded, and continues to demand, an independent investigation by a neutral and transparent committee," Ms Faqih said after Israel announced its investigation into Hind's death. Hind's body was found in the Tel Al Hawa district of Gaza city 12 days after the accident, along with her aunt, uncle, and four cousins.
Israel's military prosecutors are reviewing 150 killings from the Gaza war, including Hind's, but deny wider allegations of genocide or war crimes. The Israeli account does not justify the killing of aid workers from the World Central Kitchen charity or Doctors Without Borders, who were also killed during the conflict.
