Israeli army forces strapped a wounded Palestinian man to
the hood of a military Jeep during an arrest raid in the occupied West Bank
city of Jenin on Saturday.
A video circulating on social media and verified by Reuters
showed a Palestinian resident of Jenin, Mujahed Azmi, on the Jeep that passes
two ambulances.
The Israeli military said its forces were fired at and
exchanged fire, wounding a suspect and apprehending him.
Soldiers then violated military protocol, the statement
said. “The suspect was taken by the forces while tied on top of a vehicle,” it
said.
The military said the “conduct of the forces in the video of
the incident does not conform to the values” of the Israeli military and that
the events will be investigated and dealt with.
The individual was transferred to medics for treatment, the
military said.
Reuters was able to match the location from corroborating
and verified footage shared on social media that shows a vehicle transporting
an individual tied on top of a vehicle in Jenin. The date was confirmed by an
eyewitness interviewed by Reuters.
According to the family of Azmi, there was an arrest raid,
during which he was injured and, when the family asked for an ambulance, the
army took him, strapped him on the hood and drove off.
Violence in the West Bank, already on the rise before the
Israel-Hamas war in Gaza, has escalated since then with frequent army raids on
militant groups, rampages by Jewish settlers in Palestinian villages, and
deadly Palestinian street attacks.
