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, Al Jazeera reports.
“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.”
Medical sources said they are treating two injuries in hospitals in Jenin, she added.
