Hi there,

The job of a journalist is to go to where the silence is — especially when those in power seek to silence voices that question or challenge power. That is what we do at Democracy Now! day in and day out, and we're able to do it because of financial support from people like you — people who trust and depend on our independent reporting. If you believe that freedom of speech and freedom of the press are essential to the functioning of a democratic society, please donate today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

Advocates ID Israeli Officer Responsible for Killing of 5-Year-Old Hind Rajab and Her Family

HeadlineMay 06, 2025

Human rights workers have revealed the identity of the Israeli officer directly responsible for the killing of 5-year-old Palestinian Hind Rajab, along with five of her family members and two rescue workers who were attempting to reach them, during an attack on Gaza City in January 2024. A war crimes complaint filed by the Hind Rajab Foundation at the International Criminal Court seeks the arrest of Lieutenant Colonel Beni Aharon, commander of the Israeli Defense Forces’ 401st Armored Brigade. The foundation filed the complaint on May 3, which would have been Hind’s seventh birthday.
