Israeli forces tied a wounded Palestinian man to an armored vehicle’s hood as they drove through the occupied West Bank during a raid this weekend – an incident a United Nations expert described as an example of the military using Palestinian civilians as human shields, an accusation the U.S. and Israel have repeatedly made against Palestinian militants like Hamas.
Israeli forces on Saturday were conducting a raid in Jenin when they wounded Azmi, the man’s family told Reuters. When the family asked for an ambulance to take Azmi to a hospital, the IDF instead took him, strapped him onto the jeep’s hood and drove off, they said. A spokesperson for the IDF described the incident to HuffPost as soldiers exchanging gunfire with Palestinians they alleged were “terrorists.” It is unclear exactly how the involved Palestinians were terror suspects, given that Hamas – the armed militant group Israel has vowed to destroy – operates in Gaza, not the occupied West Bank.
