A viral video shows a Palestinian with gunshot wounds, his body covered in blood, tied to the bonnet of an armored vehicle leading a convoy through Jenin’s streets in the northern West Bank as a “human shield.” Israeli military vehicles are visible in the video, with the injured individual tied to the bonnet in a prone position, bloodstains from army gunfire evident on his body. Palestinian ambulances pass by without being allowed to reach him. Eyewitnesses reported to Anadolu Agency that the incident took place in Jenin’s Jabariyat neighborhood after Israeli forces surrounded a house. They suggested that “the army used the wounded person as a human shield to safely leave the area, avoiding explosives or gunfire from resistance fighters.”
