Israeli military admits to shooting that killed 5-year-old Palestinian girl after two-year denial

时隔两年多,以军终于承认枪杀五岁加沙女孩

The Israeli military has admitted it opened fire on a car carrying five-year-old Hind Rajab and her family in Gaza in January 2024, and shelled an ambulance sent to rescue her. The strikes killed Rajab, six relatives, and two paramedics. An internal military investigation, prompted by a telephone recording of the girl pleading for help, found troops fired on the vehicle and a tank shell hit the ambulance. The IDF announced a criminal investigation but rights groups note such probes rarely result in convictions.

The view from inside

The report is sourced entirely from the Xinhua News Agency and frames the event as a long-delayed, grudging admission of a documented atrocity.
