IDF Admits Firing on Gaza Vehicle Carrying Hind Rajab, Opens Criminal Probe
The Israeli military for the first time acknowledged firing on the vehicle carrying 5-year-old Hind Rajab in northern Gaza and said it has opened a criminal investigation into the death; the IDF had previously denied involvement. Rajab survived the initial fire and pleaded for help by phone as rescuers came under fire, and twelve days later her body was found in a car riddled with bullets. The incident drew international calls for accountability and inspired a documentary that was Oscar-nominated in 2026. This is an ongoing developing story.
