GAZA, (PIC)
The body of the 6-year-old Hind Rajab along with five members of her family and two bodies of paramedics have been found after the vehicle they were traveling in was encircled by Israeli occupation tanks for nearly 12 days in Tal Al-Hawa area, southwest of Gaza City.
Local sources reported that the family of Hind found her body this morning along with the bodies of her relatives who were trapped in the vehicle.
Hind was traveling with five members of her family, including her uncle Bashar Hamada, his wife, and their three children: Mohammad,11, Raghad,13, and Layan, 14, when Israeli tanks encircled their vehicle and opened a barrage of gunfire at them, immediately killing all of its occupants except Hind and her cousin, Layan who was martyred later on while calling the Red Crescent for help.
The Palestinian Red Crescent society (PRCS) announced today that the targeted ambulance vehicle was found in Tal Al-Hawa area. Two paramedics, Zaino and Ahmad al-Madhoun, who went out on a mission to rescue the little girl, Hind, were also found dead after 12 days of losing contact with them.
PRCS said in a statement that Israeli occupation forces deliberately targeted the ambulance immediately upon its arrival at the site, as it was found just meters away from the vehicle in which child Hind was found.
The statement highlighted that the Israeli occupation army had targeted the ambulance car despite obtaining prior coordination to allow its arrival at the site.
