On January 29, 2024, six-year-old Hind Rajab, her 15-year-old cousin Layan, and five other relatives were killed by Israeli forces in Gaza. A report by Forensic Architecture and Earshot for Al Jazeera Fault Lines states that an Israeli tank fired 335 bullets from close range at their car. The US State Department responded to the forensic findings, stating it had asked Israel to investigate but could not offer its own assessment. The Red Crescent refuted the State Department's claim, stating that Israel never reached out about Hind Rajab's death. Journalist Prem Thakker has been pressing the State Department for information for nearly 150 days, and its first substantive response was quickly refuted. The study indicating the Israeli tank must have seen the children before opening fire has received little media coverage. Additionally, paramedics sent to save her were likely killed, and Israel claims there were no tanks in the area.
The Israeli army did not contact the Palestine Red Crescent Society regarding the killing of six-year-old Palestinian girl Hind Rajab's death, a Red Crescent spokesperson told The Intercept on Tuesday, contradicting comments from the US State Department https://t.co/LyWifrQDMC
Remember 6-year-old Hind Rajab, a Palestinian kid who begged for help after Israeli forces slaughtered her family? A new study finds the Israeli tank must have seen the children in that car before it opened fire over *300 times*. The study has almost no media coverage. https://t.co/Y9qENlDZ01
Wow—After nearly 150 days, US finally gave answers on Hind Rajab: “Israel says there were no tanks in the area & Red Crescent isn’t helping the investigation.” –3 reports & Hind herself said there were tanks –I reached out to Red Crescent & they said Israel never reached out https://t.co/lsWmG6H1Jv
In the 5 months since IDF forces fired on 6-year old Hind Rajab's family car, and likely killed paramedics sent to save her, @prem_thakker has pressed the State Department for answers. Its first substantive response came this week - & was quickly refuted. https://t.co/Qg2CnUTLNC

For months a journalist presses the state department for information around the investigation into Israel's murder of the child Hend Rajab, after wiping out her entire family. Israel enjoys supreme impunity. https://t.co/nqar6TGa1u
NEW—Yesterday, the US echoed Israel's claim that the Red Crescent didn't comply with Israel's "investigation" into the killing of Hind Rajab. I asked if the US verified the claim—they said no. So I asked the Red Crescent. They said Israel never reached out.https://t.co/jlS1AM8yQr
