Israel will investigate Hind Rajab's killing. Her mother wants more
- The mother of 5-year-old Palestinian girl Hind Rajab says an Israeli military investigation into her killing is not enough and wants an independent inquiry.
- Israel's military said it would open a criminal investigation into troop conduct after admitting its forces fired on the family's car in Gaza City and on an ambulance sent to help them.
- Hind Rajab, her family members, and two medics were found dead after a widely publicized emergency call that drew international attention to the case.
- Rights groups and emergency responders said they doubt the Israeli military process will provide accountability, noting that such investigations rarely lead to indictments.
The mother of Hind Rajab, a 5-year-old Palestinian girl killed in Gaza City, says she wants an independent investigation into her daughter's death. Wesam Hamada said an Israeli military inquiry announced this week is insufficient and said her daughter's final pleas still haunt her.
According to the report, Israel's military admitted that its forces fired on the family's car as it fled during an Israeli operation and later fired toward an ambulance dispatched to help them. The military said it would open a criminal investigation into the conduct of its troops.
The case drew wide attention after recordings of Hind Rajab's distress call were released. Hind, several relatives, and two paramedics were later found dead. The Israeli military initially said its troops were not in the area, but a U.N. commission and Forensic Architecture later said evidence placed Israeli forces near the car.
以色列将调查 Hind Rajab 的死亡 她的母亲要求更多
Hind Rajab 是一名在加沙城遇害的 5 岁巴勒斯坦女孩。她的母亲 Wesam Hamada 表示，希望就女儿的死亡展开独立调查，并认为本周宣布的以色列军方调查不足以交代问题。
报道说，以色列军方承认，部队在这家人逃离时向他们的汽车开火，之后又向一辆前去救援的救护车开火，并表示将就士兵行为启动刑事调查。
这起事件因 Hind Rajab 的求救录音而广为人知。后来，Hind、几名亲属以及两名赶赴现场的急救人员都被发现死亡。以军起初称部队不在现场附近，但联合国调查委员会和 Forensic Architecture 之后表示，有证据显示以军靠近那辆汽车。
