The video released by Al Jazeera and Francesca Albanese which immortalizes a Palestinian wounded and tied on the hood of an Israeli military vehicle moving among the rubble in the Jenin area has become a case. The IDF: “Choice contrary to orders and procedures”.
A real one broke out storm online after the Images of a Palestinian wounded and tied to the hood of an Israeli military vehicle moving through the rubblealmost as if it were one human shield.
The video, released on X, formerly Twitter, from the Italian Francesca Albanese, United Nations special rapporteur on the situation in the occupied territories, was also released by Al Jazeera, who again on X explained: “The occupation forces thus abuse the body of a young Palestinian by tying him to a military vehicle.” The film would have been shot in the north of West Bankprecisely in the Wadi Burqin area, adjacent to the city of Jeninafter a military operation aimed at the arrest of Palestinians wanted.
“It is disconcerting how a state born 76 years ago has managed to literally overturn international law. This risks being the end of multilateralism, which for some influential member states no longer has any relevant purpose”, was the comment of Francesca Albanese on X.
Five Palestinians killed in Israeli raids on Rafah and Gaza City; protests against Netanyahu in Tel Aviv
The Israeli army, for its part, said that whoever tied up the man acted against the protocols of the armed forces, a choice”contrary to orders and procedures“. During the operation, the IDF reported that its soldiers returned fire against armed men. One of them was shot, then arrested, and taken out of the area linked to the hood of the vehicle.
“The conduct recorded in the video is inconsistent with IDF orders and what is expected of its soldiers,” the military said. “The accident – they add – is the subject of investigation and will be treated accordingly.” The injured Palestinian was handed over to the Red Crescent for the necessary care. But the case has now exploded.
Meanwhile, like every Saturday for months, thousands of demonstrators gathered at Tel Aviv to protest against the Prime Minister’s government Benjamin Netanyahu, calling for new elections and the release of hostages held in Gaza. Many protesters held signs reading “Crime Minister” and “Stop the war” as people poured into the streets. The anti-government protest organization Hofshi Israel estimated that more than 150,000 people attended the demonstration, calling it the largest since the war against Hamas began.
