Israeli forces strap injured Palestinian to vehicle to use as human shield
In Jenin, videos have shown an Israeli armoured vehicle driving past ambulances with an injured Palestinian man strapped to the hood, in what appears to be a case of using him as a human shield.
“It does seem there’s no other logical explanation to tie up a man who’s visibly injured and in pain to the hood of an armoured vehicle as it moves through Jenin after laying siege to at least two homes, searching them and detaining a number of people,” Nour Odeh said, reporting from Ramallah.
“That shocking image of the Jeep … is something that is repeated in several ways in the West Bank and it is what human rights organisations call the use of human shields. It’s been done on several occasions.”

‘Human shielding in action’
Francesca Albanese, the UN special rapporteur to the occupied Palestinian territories, has responded to footage shared online showing an Israeli armoured vehicle in Jenin driving past ambulances with an injured Palestinian man strapped to the hood.
“It is flabbergasting how a state born 76 years ago has managed to turn international law literally on its head,” she said in a post on X.
“This risks being the end of multilateralism, which for some influential member states no longer serves any relevant purpose,” Albanese added.

Israel carrying out ‘unprecedented crimes’ against Palestinians during arrests: Rights group
The Palestinian Prisoner’s Society has said that Israeli authorities continue to carry out “systemic crimes” against Palestinians during detention campaigns, which have so far led to the imprisonment of more than 9,300 since October 7.
The organisation said that Israeli forces have been resorting to assault, beatings, torture, intimidation, threats and the use of weaponry, including live ammunition, with the “intent to kill”.
“The crimes perpetrated during arrest campaigns are unprecedented in scope and scale. Israeli forces are not content to merely detain people, but also to assault them and their families, humiliate and threaten them, in addition to vandalising their property and stealing assets,” the organisation said.
Palestinian boy in Ramallah succumbs to critical injury
A Palestinian boy has died after he was critically injured with a bullet fired by Israeli forces near Ramallah in northern West Bank. In a statement, the Palestinian Ministry of Health reported that the 12-year-old boy had died due to critical injuries he sustained about a week ago in Ramallah.
The Palestinian Red Crescent Society said the boy was shot in his stomach during an Israeli incursion into the Am’ari refugee camp in Ramallah.
