Hind Rajab (3 May 2018 – c. 29 January 2024), was a five-year-old Palestinian girl and Gaza genocide victim who was known for being the victim of a massacre and also for the phone call she made to a Palestinian Red Crescent Society operator, when most of her family members were shot and murdered on 29 January 2024, before her own eyes, by a Israel military tank, when they were attempting to flee Gaza city by car. An ambulance truck was dispatched to rescue Hind, but the truck was attacked by an Israeli tank, and everyone inside the truck was killed. At some point, most likely on the same day her family was shot dead, Hind Rajab, who temporarily survived for several hours or even a day by hiding in what was left of her family's car, was discovered and shot dead by Israeli soldiers. Detailed investigation by Forensic architecture investigation on 'The Killing of Hind Rajab' mapped a total of 335 bullet holes on the body of the Kia car.
On 10 February 2024 Palestinian officials discovered the bodies of a Palestinian family and members of an ambulance crew. They were positively identified as belonging to five-year-old Hind Rajab, her family and ambulance staff that came to rescue Hind.
She is one of the most high profile victims of the Gaza genocide. Her death gave rise to international condemnation.
