Today, Saturday, Al Jazeera's camera documented the moment the body of the Palestinian girl Hind Rajab (6 years old) was found, along with 5 members of her family and the ambulance team, 12 days after losing contact with her, after Israeli occupation tanks surrounded her inside a vehicle and killed members of her relatives near a gas station in Gaza.

Al Jazeera correspondent Ismail al-Ghoul said that traces of Israeli tank chains were found near the car in which the girl and Hind were trapped, yet they did not intervene to help her.

He added that the occupation tanks surrounded the vehicle and the ambulance in the vicinity of the “Finance Roundabout” in the Tal Al-Hawa neighborhood, where her family members were immediately martyred, while she and her cousin Layan (14 years old) remained alive for some time.

For its part, the Palestinian Red Crescent announced the discovery of the bodies of two martyred paramedics after they lost track of the mission to rescue the little girl Hind 12 days ago. It said that the occupation deliberately targeted the ambulance vehicle meters away from the vehicle of the child Hind’s family.

Palestinian Red Crescent spokesman Raed Al-Nims told Al Jazeera that his ambulance crew moved to try to save the child, Hind, after coordination with international organizations. He confirmed that the Israeli occupation deliberately targets the Palestinian Red Crescent crews with killing and arrest.

In an interview with Al Jazeera, Samih Hamada, the uncle of the martyr girl Hind, said that the family found the bodies of Hind and five other relatives inside the vehicle in which they were traveling. He explained that their bodies were decomposing 12 days after they were killed by bullets from the occupation army.

He said that the effects indicate that they were executed on the ground after a barrage of bullets were fired at the car in which they were traveling.

Accounting the occupation

The Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) condemned the murder of the child Hind and her family, and the movement said in a statement: “We affirm that this horrific crime and other heinous crimes against our children and people in the Gaza Strip will remain engraved in the Palestinian memory. The day will come when this rogue entity is held accountable for what it did.” He committed crimes against our people, our land, and our sanctities.”

The movement called on international and human rights institutions to document "this horrific crime as one of hundreds of massacres committed by the Nazi occupation forces in the Gaza Strip, in order to bring him and his criminal leaders to trial."

The issue of the loss of communication with Hind while she was stuck in a vehicle surrounded by the occupation forces and surrounded by the bodies of her relatives who were martyred, shook the conscience of the world, especially after losing contact with the ambulance crew that went to her rescue.

It is noteworthy that this tragedy occurred when the occupation tanks penetrating the vicinity of the “Financial Roundabout” in the Tal al-Hawa neighborhood, southwest of Gaza City, targeted a civilian car belonging to Bashar Hamada, accompanied by his wife and children, Muhammad (11 years old), Layan (14 years old), and Raghad (13 years old), and his little niece. Hind.

The child Layan was announced dead when she was speaking on the phone with the Crescent Crescent crew asking for help, while Hind remained trapped inside the vehicle surrounded by occupation tanks and soldiers.

Since last October 7, Israel has been waging a devastating war on the Gaza Strip that has left tens of thousands of civilian victims, most of them children and women, in addition to an unprecedented humanitarian catastrophe and massive infrastructure destruction, which led to Tel Aviv being brought before the International Court of Justice on charges of “genocide.” ".
