The Israeli army on Wednesday ordered a criminal investigation into the death of Palestinian girl Hind Rajab in the Gaza Strip. The girl died in January 2024 after Israeli soldiers fired on a car in which she was traveling with her relatives. France24 ↗
The case drew international attention after a recording of an emergency call was released in which Hind Rajab asked for help after being left in a car among dead family members. According to available reports, the Israeli army has now opened an internal criminal investigation into the shooting at the Hamada family vehicle and at an ambulance that was connected to the case.

The army also announced an investigation into another case in Gaza in which 15 rescue workers and humanitarian aid workers died in March 2025. These are two highly scrutinized incidents from Israeli operations in the Gaza Strip. In the case of Hind Rajab, some sources indicate that the army for the first time admitted that its soldiers opened fire on the vehicle in which the girl was located. Tagesspiegel ↗
The investigation comes more than two and a half years after Hind Rajab's death. In three other examined cases, according to available information, no criminal investigation will be opened. Further proceedings will depend on the findings of Israeli military investigators and whether the findings lead to charges against specific individuals. Der Standard ↗
