UNBELIEVABLE: ‘Human shielding in action’: Barbaric zionist forces strap wounded Palestinian man to jeep
Zionist forces tie wounded Palestinian man to a military jeep in an incident a UN expert said amounted to using him as a human shield.
The family of Azmi told the Reuters news agency that Israeli forces carried out an arrest raid in Jenin, during which he was wounded.
When the family asked for an ambulance, the military took Azmi, strapped him onto the hood of their jeep and drove off.
Abdulraouf Mustafa, a Palestinian ambulance driver, said the Israeli soldiers refused to hand over Azmi to them.
“The jeep passed by and the wounded man was on the hood,” Mustafa told Al Jazeera. “One arm was tied to the windshield and the arm was on his abdomen. They drove past us. They refused to give us the patient.”
The Israeli military in a statement said Israeli forces were fired at and exchanged fire, wounding a suspect and apprehending him.
Soldiers then violated military protocol, the statement said. “The suspect was taken by the forces while tied on top of a vehicle,” it said.
