Israel admits firing on Hind Rajab's car

The Israeli military has for the first time admitted that its forces opened fire on the car carrying five-year-old Hind Rajab in Gaza in January 2024, leading to her death.

It has also ordered criminal investigations into the incident and the killing of paramedics who tried to rescue her.

The admission comes after months of international pressure and marks a rare step toward accountability.

Human rights groups have welcomed the move but stress the need for independent investigation.
