There is audio from January 29 of 6-year- old Palestinian girl, Hind, as she was calling the paramedics, begging them to come rescue her after the rest of her family in the car had already been killed by the Israeli military. She kept begging: ``Come get me. Please come get me. I am so scared. Please come.'' No one was able to reach the car for 12 days, when her decomposing body was found alongside the bodies of five of her family members. The bodies of two Palestine Red Crescent Society workers, missing since the day of her call when they were dispatched to rescue her, were discovered in an ambulance just feet away. Madam Speaker, I am here to talk about it because a new forensic analysis found that the Israeli military fired not one, not two, not a dozen, not 20, but 355 tank bullets at the car that Hind was in, and the tank was so close that the Israeli soldiers would have had a clear view of Hind in the car. Six months later, the State Department and President Biden has yet to hold the Israeli Government accountable for these executions. Madam Speaker, I include in the Record a link to the forensic report: https://forensic-architecture.org/investigation/the-killing-of-hind- rajab. ____________________
