Israel opens criminal probe into 2024 killing of Palestinian child Hind Rajab

The Israeli military has acknowledged responsibility for firing on a car carrying five-year-old Hind Rajab and her family in Gaza City in January 2024, and on an ambulance sent to rescue her, killing two medics. It has now announced a criminal investigation, citing alleged failures in coordinating the Red Crescent ambulance's movement. A legal advocacy group calls the probe a strategic move to deflect international accountability, citing a history of such investigations closing without prosecution.
