Footage of an injured Palestinian man strapped to a military jeep by Israeli soldiers during a raid in the occupied West Bank has drawn international outrage.

Mujahed Azmi, a resident of the city of Jenin, was seen tied to the bonnet of the vehicle as it passed two ambulances on Saturday, in video shared on social media and verified by Reuters.

Francesca Albanese, the United Nations’ special rapporteur to the occupied Palestinian territory, called the incident “human shielding in action”.

“It is flabbergasting how a state born 76 years ago has managed to turn international law literally on its head,” she wrote in a post on X.

The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), the United States’ largest Muslim civil rights and advocacy organization, also condemned the incident.

“These Israeli-US massacres and war crimes must be stopped. American taxpayer dollars should not be used to kill, maim and starve innocent civilians. The Biden administration must end its complicity in this genocide and begin to recognize the humanity of the Palestinian people.”
