Israel’s military to open criminal probes into 2 Gaza attacks on Palestinians
The military said it reviewed 150 Gaza incidents and will not pursue probes in three other aid-worker killings.
- On Wednesday, Israel's military announced it will open internal criminal investigations into two high-profile attacks, including the killing of 5-year-old Hind Rajab and 15 Palestinian paramedics.
- The military's Fact-Finding and Assessment Mechanism reviewed 150 incidents of troop conduct in Gaza, selecting five cases for further action.
- Regarding three other attacks on aid workers from World Central Kitchen and Doctors Without Borders, officials declined to open criminal investigations, citing "no reasonable suspicion of criminal misconduct that would justify the opening of a criminal investigation."
- Earlier examinations included the April 2024 killings of seven World Central Kitchen aid workers, a case the military previously reviewed and concluded contained no reasonable suspicion of criminal misconduct.
- These decisions illustrate the high evidentiary threshold Israel's military applies when evaluating civilian casualties, distinguishing between cases requiring formal criminal prosecution and those where officials found no evidence of misconduct.
