According to Hind's mother, the day before Hind was killed, she and her cousins - who were killed in the same attack - were playing and pretending they were in school, reading and writing. It was the first time she'd seen them have a chance to do that since the start of the war.

Taking over Hamilton Hall as done in 1968, Columbia students unfurl a banner that reads "Hind's Hall," in reference to Hind Rajab, a six-year-old girl killed by Israeli forces. Hundreds of students cheer as the banner is revealed, erupting into chants to "Free Palestine."
