The Israeli military acknowledged on 21 August 2026 that its troops fired on a car carrying five-year-old Palestinian girl Hind Rajab and six family members in Gaza City on 29 January 2024, and announced it would open a criminal investigation. Rajab survived the initial attack and made desperate phone calls for help but was killed before rescue paramedics could reach her; two paramedics who attempted to rescue her were also killed.
