Hind Rajab, a 5-year-old Palestinian girl, was killed in Gaza City after Israeli forces fired on the car carrying her family. Her final phone calls with her mother and emergency dispatchers drew international attention and made the case one of the most widely known deaths from the Israel-Hamas war.
Israel's military said it would launch a criminal investigation into the conduct of troops involved in the shooting of the family's car and of an ambulance sent to rescue them. The army said all six people in the car and two paramedics were killed. It initially said its troops were not in the area, but later acknowledged firing at both the vehicle and the ambulance.
Hind's mother, Wesam Hamada, said she wants an independent inquiry and does not believe a military investigation is enough. The Palestinian Red Crescent Society and rights advocates also questioned whether Israel's internal process can produce accountability, while the family said the long delay in acknowledging the shooting raised doubts about the probe.
以色列将调查 Hind Rajab 之死,她的母亲要求更多
5岁的巴勒斯坦女孩 Hind Rajab 在加沙城遭遇袭击后身亡,当时以色列军队向载有她家人的汽车开火。她最后与母亲和急救调度员通话的录音后来广泛传播,使这起事件成为以哈战争中最受关注的死亡案例之一。
以色列军方表示,将就涉事部队在向该家庭车辆开火以及向前往救援的救护车开火中的行为展开刑事调查。军方说,车内6人和两名急救人员都已死亡。以方最初称部队不在现场,后来则承认曾向车辆和救护车开火。
Hind 的母亲 Wesam Hamada 表示,她希望进行独立调查,不认为军方内部调查足够。巴勒斯坦红新月会和人权倡议者也对以色列内部程序能否带来问责表示怀疑,家属则认为,以方在很长时间后才承认开火,这让他们对调查更加不信任。
