On Saturday, the Palestinians found the body of the Palestinian child, Hind Rajab, 6, in the car that the Israeli army opened fire at, instantly killing her uncle, his wife, and their three children, twelve days ago in the Tal Al-Hawa area, southwest of Gaza City, that remained surrounded by the soldiers who also killed the two dispatched medics.
12 days ago, Hind called the emergency line, begging for help, as she was was stranded in a car and surrounded by Israeli tanks, and soldiers who killed her family, and later killed the dispatched medics
The child was in a car that came under intense Israeli army fire, before the Israeli tanks surrounded it and the entire area, preventing anyone, including medics, from reaching it.
The Israeli soldiers killed Hind’s uncle, Bashar Hamada, his wife, and their three children, Mohammad, 11, Lian, 14, and Raghad, 13; the only survivor at the time were Hind, who was terrified and child survived at the time before calling for help.
The Palestinian Red Crescent Society (PRCS) published the phone call Hind made, pleading for help, and telling them that the army is actively firing at the car.
The following recording was released by the Palestinian Red Crescent Society
“They are shooting at us, the tank is very near, and next to us is another tank,” she said, and a woman at the PRCS call center was trying to calm her down, and tell her they were coming to help her, and trying to explain that they needed to do some coordination (usually with the Red Cross that contacts the Israeli side,) however; that is when gunshots could be heard, and Lian could also be heard screaming in fear before the call dropped.
The PRCS immediately dispatched an ambulance trying to save the child, despite the constant Israeli attacks and the deliberate targeting of medics.
The PRCS stated that the Israeli army deliberately bombed the ambulance as soon as it reached the area, despite prior coordination with the by the Red Cross with Israeli army.
It also said it coordinated with various international human right group, in an effort to reach hind and the missing medics.
The two medics in the ambulance, Yousef Zeino and Ahmad Al-Madhoun, were never heard from again, and the search never stopped despite limited means and inability to enter isolated areas, before all the corpses, including that of Hind and the medics, were located twelve days later.
