Al Jazeera documentary reveals new evidence in Hind Rajab family’s killing

A documentary by Al Jazeera, in partnership with the Hind Rajab Foundation, has revealed new evidence in the killing of five-year-old Hind Rajab, her family, and the rescue team that tried to reach them in Gaza City. The documentary, Ma Khafiya Aatham (Tip of the Iceberg), which aired on Monday, discloses previously unknown details about the killing of the Rajab family and others in the final days of January 2024. Hind Rajab’s final hours – as she pleaded for help following the initial shelling that killed her uncle, aunt and three cousins in their car – were widely circulated on social media after the attack. Defending its actions that day, the Israeli government initially claimed that none of its forces was present when the Rajab family was killed, later asserting that the 335 bullet holes found in the family’s car were the result of an exchange of fire between Israeli troops and armed Palestinian fighters. However, a subsequent investigation of satellite imagery and audio from that day by the multidisciplinary research group Forensic Architecture, based at Goldsmiths, the University of London, identified only the presence of several Israeli Merkava tanks in the vicinity of the Rajab family’s car and no evidence of any exchange of fire. Al Jazeera’s Charles Stratford reports. William Schabas is Professor of International Law at Middle* University. He is a former Chairperson of the Commission of Inquiry on the 2014 Gaza Conflict. He says Al Jazeera's investigation opens up several avenues for the perpetrators to be brought to justice. Subscribe to our channel: http://bit.ly
