The Israeli military announced on 19 August that it will open criminal investigations into two high-profile incidents from the Gaza conflict: the killing of six-year-old Hind Rajab and her family in 2024, and the deaths of 15 Palestinian medical workers in March 2025, both of which provoked widespread international condemnation. However, the army said it would not pursue criminal inquiries into three other deadly attacks on humanitarian workers, including those from World Central Kitchen and Médecins Sans Frontières. NGOs that lost staff in Gaza have expressed deep mistrust of the process, calling for an independent commission and warning that the internal military review — which examines around 150 cases through a team of roughly 100 personnel — amounts to whitewashing, noting that Israeli investigations rarely result in meaningful sanctions.
