2024-06-22 Hind Rajab Killing: Analysis Finds Israeli Tank Fired 335 Bullets Into Car at Close Range An Israeli tank or tanks likely fired the bullets that killed five-year-old Palestinian Hind Rajab and six relatives as they sat in a car in northern Gaza in January, according to an analysis released Friday that adds to evidence of the Israeli military’s role in an indiscriminate killing which galvanized anti-war protests around the world earlier this year.
tank had to have been positioned between 13 and 23 meters from the family car when it fired the shots that killed Layan Hamada, Hind Rajab’s 15-year-old cousin, and it’s “not plausible that the shooter could not have seen that the car was occupied by civilians, including children,” wrote the authors of the analysis, which was completed by U.K. research agency Forensic Architecture, based at Goldsmiths, University of London, with Earshot, an NGO, and Al Jazeera journalists.
The investigators found 335 bullet holes on the body of the Kia Picanto the family was using. An Israeli tank also likely killed the two Palestine Red Crescent Society (PRCS) paramedics who came to the scene, the analysis found. The new analysis refutes Israel’s contention that its forces were not responsible for the killings, which caused an international outcry.https://www.commondreams.org/news/hind-rajab-forensic-investigation
