- Israel's military announced on Wednesday it will open internal criminal investigations into its troops' killings of 6-year-old Palestinian girl Hind Rajab in January 2024 and 15 emergency and aid workers in March 2025.
- Rights groups cautioned that such internal probes rarely lead to convictions.
Why it matters: Israel is opening criminal probes into two of the most scrutinized Gaza incidents — the killing of 6-year-old Hind Rajab and the deaths of 15 aid workers — but rights groups' warning that internal military probes rarely produce convictions means accountability, if it comes, will likely arrive on the military's own terms.
