Shocking Footage Emerges of Wounded Palestinian Strapped to IDF Jeep in Jenin
A disturbing video has surfaced showing a wounded Palestinian man, identified as Mujahed Azmi, tied to the hood of an Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) jeep during an arrest raid in the West Bank city of Jenin. The footage, which has sparked outrage on social media, captures the barbaric act as the conflict in the Middle East continues to escalate.
The IDF has confirmed the incident, stating that it occurred during a counter-terrorism operation in the Wadi Burqin area. According to the military, the suspect was wounded and apprehended after exchanging fire with Israeli forces. However, the IDF admitted that the soldiers violated military protocol by transporting the suspect in such a manner.

Azmi’s family recounted the harrowing experience, stating that when they requested an ambulance for him, the army instead tied him to the jeep and drove off, despite his injuries. He was later transferred to the Red Crescent for treatment.
Eyewitnesses described the scene as chaotic, with one witness, a 13-year-old, recalling how he hid under a blanket as the Israeli soldiers opened fire. Another witness alleged that Hamas militants seemed to be using Azmi as a form of entertainment.
Escalation of Violence in the West Bank
The incident comes amidst a surge in violence in the West Bank following the Israel-Gaza war that began on October 7. Hamas’ attack on a southern Israel music festival resulted in significant casualties, with more than 1,170 people, mostly civilians, losing their lives.
In response, Israel launched a retaliatory offensive that has claimed the lives of at least 34,971 people in Gaza, a majority of whom were women and children. The conflict has led to widespread destruction and loss of life on both sides.
Israeli Airstrikes in Gaza City
On Saturday, Israel conducted airstrikes in Gaza City, resulting in the deaths of over three dozen individuals, according to local officials. The strikes caused significant damage to residential areas, including the al-Shati refugee camp.
While Israel claims to have targeted Hamas military sites, the exact number of civilian casualties remains unclear. Hamas, on the other hand, accused Israel of deliberately attacking the civilian population.

The series of airstrikes follows a deadly incident where projectiles landed near an office of the International Committee of the Red Cross in Rafah, resulting in the death of 25 individuals and leaving 50 others injured. The ICRC condemned the attack, highlighting the dangers posed to civilians and humanitarian workers.
The use of human shields, as seen in the incident in Jenin, is a violation of international law. The IDF has been criticized for such actions in the past, and the recent incident has reignited concerns about the treatment of Palestinian civilians in conflict zones.
