Israel's military has admitted its troops shot and killed six-year-old Hind Rajab in Gaza, a reversal that brings a rare criminal case but little expectation of real punishment.

• The girl was trapped in a car with her dead relatives while pleading for rescue on a recorded emergency call.
• The military had earlier denied its forces were anywhere near the car, and has now admitted they fired on it.
• The paramedics sent to save her were also killed; the new statement blames the Red Crescent for poor coordination.
• The case is one of 150 incidents referred to the military's top lawyer, with only a handful of decisions made public so far.
• Anger is growing at continued US weapons support and the cost of backing Israel's wars.

Outlook: The investigation will likely drag on with no soldiers punished, keeping international pressure on Israel high.
