The plaintiffs include relatives of Rachel Corrie, a young American woman who was killed in 2003 while participating in efforts to prevent the Israeli Defense Forces from bulldozing structures in the south end of Gaza, near the border with Egypt. The circumstances of her death are disputed. The nongovernmental organization with which Corrie was affiliated contends that the operator of an IDF bulldozer intentionally struck her. The IDF and the government of Israel maintain that her death was accidental and that the operator of the armored D9 bulldozer did not see her as she drew dose to the machine.
