Israeli forces have been filmed using a wounded Palestinian man as a human shield by tying him to the hood of a military vehicle during a raid in the occupied West Bank.

A video shared on social media and verified by multiple news outlets showed an injured Palestinian man, identified as Mujahed Azmi, strapped to the hood of a military jeep during an Israeli raid in Jenin city in the occupied West Bank on June 22.

Azmi’s family said Azmi had been injured during the raid, but when they asked for an ambulance, the Israeli military instead took him, strapped him to the car and drove off, according to Reuters.

The Israeli military said in a statement that it had been fired at so it exchanged fire, wounding a suspect and arresting him.

"The suspect was taken by the forces while tied on top of a vehicle," the statement said.

It added that the "conduct of the forces in the video of the incident does not conform to the values" of the Israeli military and that the incident will be investigated and dealt with.

The incident occurred as violence in the occupied West Bank, already escalating before Israel’s genocide in Gaza, continues to rise.

This includes frequent Israeli military raids in West Bank cities and villages and rampages by Jewish settlers in Palestinian villages.
