# The Israel Defence Force says it will open a criminal investigation into the killing of five-year-old Hind Rajab and her six relatives in Gaza in 2024. The IDF has acknowledged for the first time that it opened fire on the vehicle carrying Rajab and her family, after previously denying involvement. Rajab initially survived the attack, and the ambulance dispatched to save her also came under fire. Her body was recovered days later. The IDF will also investigate the killing of 15 Palestinians, including medics and a United Nations worker, in March 2025.
