JERUSALEM (AFP)
The Israeli military said Wednesday it had ordered a criminal investigation into the 2024 killing in Gaza of five-year-old Hind Rajab, whose death drew international outrage after a harrowing recording of her last words.
Rajab's body was recovered from a car riddled with bullets in Gaza City days after she was last heard from in a desperate, hours-long phone call to the Palestinian Red Crescent on January 29, 2024.
"Following review of the findings and due to alleged failures in the coordination of the movement of the Palestine Red Crescent ambulance, it has been decided to initiate a criminal investigation of the incident by Military Police Criminal Investigation Division," the military said on Wednesday.
