Military says conduct seen in video from occupied West Bank city of Jenin ‘does not conform’ to its values
The Israel Defense Forces have said they are investigating an incident in which soldiers strapped a wounded Palestinian man to theA video circulating on social media showed a man, variously identified as Mujahid Azmi or Fayyad, from the Jabriyat neighbourhood between the towns of Burqin and Jenin, tied to the front of an off-road vehicle that is seen passing two ambulances.
It is flabbergasting how a state born 76 years ago has managed to turn international law literally on its head.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.
Jenin has long been a stronghold for Palestinian militant groups, and the Israeli army routinely carries out raids in the city and an adjacent refugee camp. Attacks by Palestinians have killed at least 14 Israelis in the West Bank over the same period. On Saturday, Amnon Muchtar, 67, an Israeli civilian, was shot and killed by unknown gunmen in the West Bank city of Qalqilya after apparently going to buy vegetables.
