The Israeli military is investigating some its own soldiers after footage showed that an injured Palestinian man had been strapped to the front of a military jeep as it moved through the West Bank on Saturday.
Israeli army forces strapped a wounded Palestinian man to the bonnet of a military vehicle during an arrest raid in the occupied West Bank city of Jenin.
The man, Mujahed Azmi, was later treated by a medic. In a statement, the Israeli military said the “conduct of the forces in the video of the incident does not conform to [its] values” and that it will investigate and address the matter.
According to Reuters, Azmi’s family said Israeli forces injured him during an arrest raid, “and when the family asked for an ambulance, the army took Mujahed, strapped him on the hood and drove off.”
The Israeli military said in a statement that it had exchanged fire during a mission and that a suspect, presumably Azmi, was wounded.
