Israeli military forces strapped a wounded Palestinian man to the hood of a military jeep during an arrest raid in the West Bank city of Jenin on June 22, 2024. The incident, which involved using the man as a human shield, has been widely condemned and is under investigation by the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF). The IDF confirmed that the actions of the troops violated army protocols. The Palestinian man, identified as Mujahed Azmi, was initially injured by Israeli soldiers before being tied to the vehicle. His family had requested an ambulance, but he was instead paraded through the streets of Jenin. The incident occurred in the Al-Jabriyat neighborhood and Wadi Burqin area, sparking outrage and calls for accountability from various human rights organizations.
