00:00The Israeli military has admitted that its troops opened fire on the car carrying five-year-old
00:06Hinn Rajab and six family members in Gaza in 2024. The IDF claims that it has ordered a
00:13criminal investigation into the killings in a case that sparked widespread international outreach.
00:21Hinn spent three hours on the phone with the Palestinian Red Crescent pleading for help
00:26before she was killed. Her family's car came under fire as they tried to flee a new Israeli
00:31offensive in Gaza City. All six other passengers were also killed. The IDF had previously denied
00:38that its troops were in the area, but media investigations found evidence suggesting
00:43Israeli tanks were nearby. The Palestinian Red Crescent sent an ambulance to rescue Hinn,
00:49but the vehicle also came under fire, killing two paramedics. The IDF also acknowledged that
00:55its troops had fired on the ambulance. The IDF said the investigation will also cover the deaths
01:01of 15 Palestinians, including medics and a U.N. worker, in March 2025. However, criminal
01:08misconduct investigations into Israeli troops over the killings of Palestinians rarely lead
01:13to convictions. The killing of Hinn and her family became one of the most high-profile incidents
01:18involving civilian casualties during the early months of the Gaza War, drawing widespread international
01:23condemnation.
