Over two years of denial will likely now translate into a new form of impunity. Israel has announced it will be investigating the killing of five year old Hind Rajab, who was trapped in a car among her dead relatives as the Israeli military opened fire on the vehicle on 29 January 2024. The Palestinian Red Crescent Society was unable to rescue Hind, having been blocked by the military from reaching the site.

The Israeli military said it “fired at a vehicle that was approaching them”. Hind’s family were trying to follow evacuation orders, as her family had been forcibly displaced that same day from Gaza city.
