Israeli
your own reading days after an
tank targeted their family car in Gaza, has been found along with the bodies of
two medics dispatched to look for them.

The Palestine Red Crescent Society (PRCS) and the family of the girl, Hind Ra-
jab, confirmed on Saturday that all seven people inside the car were killed, with
the Palestinian relief organisation saying it lost crew members Yusuf Zeino and
Ahmed al-Madhoun in the Israeli attack on civilians in Gaza City.

Family members found Hind’s body along with those of her uncle and aunt and
their three children near a roundabout in the city’s Tal al-Hawa suburb, the
Palestinian news agency Wafa reported.

Another of Hind’s uncles, Sameeh Hamadeh, said the car was peppered with
bullet holes.

“The occupation deliberately targeted the ambulance upon its arrival at the
scene, where it was found just metres away from the vehicle containing the
trapped child Hind,” said the PRCS statement.

“Despite prior coordination to allow the ambulance to reach the location to res-
cue the child, Hind, the occupation deliberately targeted the Palestine Red
Crescent ambulance crew.”

Earlier this month, the PRCS published an audio file in which Hind could be
heard pleading on the phone with a member of the rescue team. All members
of her family are believed to have been killed before her, leaving her terrified in
the car with the dead bodies of her loved ones.

“I’m so scared, please come. Please call someone to come and take me,” she
was heard crying desperately in the call that PRCS said lasted three hours in an
effort to calm the frightened child.

The Israeli army had earlier said it was not aware of the incident.

The PRCS had started a count of the number of hours since it lost contact with
Hind and the crew in trying to attract attention to the plight of Palestinian
healthcare workers, who persist under constant attacks by the Israeli army.

In an interview with Al Jazeera Arabic shortly after the family was targeted,
Hind’s mother said she had managed to speak to her and an older cousin, 15-
year-old Layan Hamadeh, who was with Hind in the car.

“They are shooting at us. The tank is next to us,” Layan said in a recording re-
leased at the time.

Then a barrage of shooting was heard, followed by screams, before the line cut
out.

The plight of Hind, revealed in the harrowing audio clips, underlined the im-
possible conditions for civilians in the face of Israel’s four-month assault on
Gaza, which many governments have termed a “genocide”.

Israel’s military has killed nearly 28,000 people – mostly women and children
– since October 7 when Hamas fighters attacked Israel, killing more than 1,100
people and taking 253 captives, according to Israeli tallies.
