US EditionFoundation names Israeli commander behind Hind Rajab's murder
- The Hind Rajab Foundation named Lieutenant Colonel Beni Aharon responsible for the killing of six-year-old Hind Rajab and her family by Israeli tank fire on January 29, 2024, in Gaza City's Tel al-Hawa neighborhood.
- The family was attacked while evacuating Gaza following Israeli warnings, and on May 3—the day Hind would have turned seven—the Hind Rajab Foundation submitted a formal accusation of war crimes to the International Criminal Court.
- The complaint is based on a year-long inquiry that utilized detailed imagery from satellites, expert forensic examination, testimony from witnesses, and corroborating evidence from Forensic Architecture and Sky News, establishing that the tank unit intentionally targeted both the family and the emergency ambulance sent to assist them.
- Hind remained alive for several hours after the attack, whispering to the Palestine Red Crescent Society dispatchers, "I'm so scared, please come," until she ultimately died because emergency responders were unable to access her amid ongoing gunfire.
- The foundation called for ICC action to hold Aharon and other officers accountable amid a broader context of more than 52,000 Palestinian deaths in Gaza since October 2023, many of them children.
