Israel's military has announced it will investigate the killings of 5-year-old Hind Rajab and her family, as well as 15 Palestinian paramedics, in Gaza. The military stated that it would not probe three other attacks that killed aid workers from World Central Kitchen and Doctors Without Borders. This marks Israel's first criminal investigations into troop conduct in Gaza, following a series of incidents that drew heavy international outcry.
The investigations involve five cases, with the military completing reviews of 150 incidents of troop conduct in the territory. The killings of Hind and the paramedics have sparked condemnation, with Chef José Andrés, founder of U.S.-based World Central Kitchen, calling the decision "wrong and painful." The campaign in Gaza has resulted in over 73,000 casualties, including a significant number of women and children, according to the territory's Health Ministry. Rights groups and U.N. commissions have also expressed concern over the situation.
