Israeli Military Admits Soldiers Fired on Car Carrying Five-Year-Old Hind Rajab, Orders Criminal Probe

The IDF admitted its soldiers opened fire on a car carrying five-year-old Hind Rajab and six family members in Gaza on 29 January 2024, reversing years of denials that troops were near the scene. The military ordered a criminal investigation into the killing, which occurred as the family fled an Israeli offensive into Gaza City. Hind survived hours before dying; all other passengers were killed.
