The Israeli military has confirmed that the incident took place and admitted that its forces violated military protocol. An investigation is due to take place.
Israeli soldiers strapped an injured Palestinian man to the bonnet of a military jeep after an arrest raid in the occupied West Bank. The Israeli military confirmed the incident after a video circulated on social media showing the man tied to the vehicle and being driven around in Jenin on Saturday. Reuters news agency named him as Mujahed Azmi. In a statement, the Israeli military said Israeli forces were fired at and exchanged fire during the raid, wounding a suspect and arresting him.
According to Reuters, Mr Azmi's family said they asked for an ambulance after he was wounded, and it was then that the army took Mr Azmi, tied him to the hood of the vehicle, and drove off. Violence in the West Bank was already on the rise before the 7 October attacks in which militants stormed into southern Israel and killed around 1,200 people, kidnapping around 250 more.
