IDF investigations into military misconduct

Overview

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) are facing scrutiny regarding military conduct in the West Bank and Gaza. In the northern West Bank, reports emerged of soldiers marking detained Palestinians with numbers written on their bodies using felt-tip pens, an act described by lawmaker Ahmed Tibi as “shocking and disgusting.”

Concurrently, the IDF has launched criminal investigations into specific incidents involving Palestinian casualties. This includes a probe into the January 2024 deaths of five-year-old Hind Rajab, her family, and two paramedics. In a significant development, the military admitted for the first time that its troops fired on the vehicle carrying the child and her relatives, citing potential coordination failures regarding a Palestinian Red Crescent ambulance.

A second investigation focuses on the deaths of 15 Palestinian emergency workers in early 2025. While the IDF has reviewed approximately 150 incidents of troop conduct, it declined to open criminal probes into other major incidents, such as the April 2024 strikes that killed seven World Central Kitchen workers. Human rights organizations have noted that internal military investigations seldom lead to indictments, prompting calls from victims' families for independent international investigations.
