What happened, for context

The Israeli military announced on 19 August 2026 that it is opening a criminal investigation into the January 2024 killing of five-year-old Palestinian girl Hind Rajab and her six family members, as well as two paramedics who were killed when an ambulance sent to rescue her was attacked. The military confirmed for the first time that its troops fired on the car carrying Rajab, reversing earlier claims that no troops were in the area.
