Israeli Military Launches Criminal Probes Into High-Profile Killings
· World · The Hindu, The Independent, BBC News
The Israeli military announced it will launch criminal investigations into two specific attacks in Gaza that resulted in civilian deaths. These probes cover the February 2024 killing of 5-year-old Hind Rajab and her family, as well as the May 2025 killing of 15 Palestinian paramedics. The military stated it has completed reviews of 150 incidents of troop conduct and reached decisions on five cases. It confirmed that no criminal investigations will be opened into three other attacks involving aid workers from World Central Kitchen and Doctors Without Borders. The announcement did not address several other high-profile strikes, including an August 2025 hospital attack that killed five journalists.
Why it matters
The decision to initiate criminal investigations marks a rare formal step by the Israeli military in response to international scrutiny over civilian casualties in the Gaza conflict.
