Israel Launches Criminal Probes Into Killings of Hind Rajab and Medics

The Israeli military announced criminal investigations into the February 2024 killing of 5-year-old Hind Rajab and the May 2025 deaths of 15 Palestinian paramedics in Rafah.

Military reviews of 150 incidents resulted in decisions on five cases, though officials declined to open criminal probes into attacks on World Central Kitchen and Doctors Without Borders staff.

The military previously claimed the paramedics' vehicles were advancing suspiciously, but backtracked after footage showed the emergency vehicles were clearly marked and driving slowly with lights flashing.
