The Israeli military says its soldiers violated orders and failed to meet the values of the country’s defence force when they drove with a wounded Palestinian tied to the front of their vehicle.
Video showed a wounded local man, Mujahed Azmi, lying on the bonnet of a jeep as it drives past two ambulances in Jenin.
News agency Reuters was able to confirm the location of the video from verified footage shared on social media that shows the same vehicle transporting an individual on top in Jenin.
The incident recalled scenes in the Second Intifada, when Israeli troops were criticised for tying Palestinians, including a 13-year-old boy, to the front of an army vehicle.
The United Nations Special Rapporteur on the situation in the occupied Palestinian Territories, Francesca Albanese, called the incident an example of “human shielding in action”.
The IDF was banned from using Palestinians as human shields by the Israeli Supreme Court, but has been accused of using the practice multiple times since, the Guardian reports.
