Mother of Gaza child killed in 2024 car attack urges independent probe

Hind Rajab’s mother said on 21 August that she was seeking an independent international investigation into the killing of her five-year-old daughter, after the Israel Defense Forces’ own criminal probe was deemed inadequate. The Israel Defense Forces had confirmed on 19 August that its troops opened fire on a civilian car in northern Gaza, killing Hind Rajab and several relatives, and announced a criminal investigation into the incident. The military’s statement marked the first criminal probe launched by the IDF into a Gaza war incident involving a child.
