Israeli soldiers strapped an injured Palestinian man to the bonnet of a military jeep after an arrest raid in the occupied West Bank.

The Israeli military confirmed the incident after a video circulated on social media showing the man tied to the Israeli vehicle and being driven around in Jenin on Saturday.

Reuters news agency named him as Mujahed Azmi.

In a statement, the Israeli military said Israeli forces were fired at and exchanged fire during the raid, wounding a suspect and arresting him.

Soldiers then violated military protocol, the statement said, as “the suspect was taken by the forces while tied on top of
a vehicle”.

The suspect was later transferred to a Red Crescent ambulance for treatment, the statement added.

The military said the “conduct of the forces in the video of the incident does not conform to the values” of the Israeli military and the incident would be investigated.
