Israeli army admits to killing Palestinian girl
For the first time, the Israeli army has confirmed that its soldiers fired at a vehicle carrying Palestinian child Hend Rjab, a five-year-old girl who was killed along with six of her relatives in Gaza in 2024. Initially, Hend survived and requested help via a phone call that lasted for hours, but the ambulance sent to rescue her was shelled by Israeli forces, resulting in the deaths of two paramedics. The army is now conducting a criminal investigation into Hend's death and that of her family, after previous accounts claimed that no Israeli forces were present in the area at the time of the incident. Hend's killing sparked widespread international condemnation, especially after a recording of her conversation with Palestinian Red Crescent medics surfaced, in which she described her dire situation before her death; it was confirmed that Israeli forces intentionally targeted the ambulance despite prior coordination. It is worth noting that the case has been turned into a film and has been described as one of the most prominent human rights issues, with Israel accused of committing war crimes that it denies.
