The Tragic Story of Hind Rajab: A Call to Action that Shook the World
Her call for help moved the world and revealed the horror of the Zionist occupation's face, which did not spare little Hind Rajab, trapped in a car, surrounded by the bodies of her family members and the ambulance team that tried to rescue her, until her body was found 12 days later.
Al Jazeera journalist Tamer Al-Mishal followed the trail of the perpetrators and documented his investigation in a 52-minute report on Al Jazeera. The car of Hind Rajab's family, which was transporting six other family members as they tried to leave the Tal al-Hawa area, was riddled with 335 holes caused by bullets fired from a distance of between 13 and 23 meters, according to revelations from the Forensic Architecture team at Goldsmiths University in London.
Using satellite maps and audio recordings from the Red Crescent, it was established that an armored unit on board Merkava tanks was involved in the crime, specifically the 401st Armored Brigade, which was commanded by Officer Benny Aharon. According to Diab Abu Jahjah, head of the Hind Rajab Foundation, the battalion that committed the crime on January 29, 2024, is the 52nd Armored Battalion, led by Daniel Eila.
This bloody battalion, led by 33-year-old Daniel Eila, and according to Al Jazeera's investigation, is involved in the murder of hundreds of Palestinians. It was the first battalion to enter Gaza during the ground invasion in 2023. It also stormed the Al-Rantisi children's hospital, then destroyed the Sheikh Radwan neighborhood, and later the Hamad hospital, in addition to carrying out the bloody assault on Al-Shifa hospital, which resulted in dozens of victims.
