Five-year-old Palestinian girl found dead after being trapped in car with dead relatives

A 5-year-old Palestinian girl who was trapped in a car with her dead relatives after it came under Israeli fire in Gaza last month has been found dead.

On January 29, Hind Rajab had been traveling in a car with her uncle, his wife and their four children, fleeing fighting in northern Gaza, when they came under Israeli fire, according to the Palestine Red Crescent Society (PRCS).

“The child [Hind Rajab] and everyone in the car were found killed by the Israeli Army near the Fares petrol station in the Tal Al-Hawa area, southwest of Gaza City, after about two weeks of her unknown fate due to the Israeli military operation in the area,” according to Khader Al Za’anoun, a Palestinian journalist working for CNN who spoke to the child’s grandfather.



The PRCS also confirmed the death of two ambulance workers dispatched to rescue the girl.

The two audio recordings, first by the older cousin or sister, ending with her screams as she is being shelled/shot. Then silence. The second by Hind herself, begging for help. Her Mom said she heard the sound of the car door opening, then the phone went dead.

The recordings are horrific.

It ia clear she and her family were murdered in cold blood.

If Hind were an Israeli little girl, the howls of outrage would be deafening, condemning evil Hamas.

But she is Palestinian, one of tens of thousands, and the perpetrators are the IDF, so...

No change of hearts.
