Palestinian footage from Jenin during the operation
IDF military jeeps were recorded on Saturday driving through the streets of Jenin, located in the West Bank, with a tied Palestinian lying atop the hood of one of them. Claims on social media said the Palestinian was allegedly tied to be used as a human shield, while others argued he was injured. A vehicle in the city was also put to flames by terrorists during the troops’ operation in the area.
The IDF issued a statement on the incident, saying, "During an arrest operation in Wadi Burqin, terrorists fired at IDF forces, who responded by opening fire at the threat. During the clashes, one of the suspects was hit and arrested. The suspect was taken in by the troops while tied to the vehicle against military orders and procedures.”
“The footage seen in the video doesn’t align with IDF orders and what is expected of its soldiers. The incident is being investigated and will be dealt with accordingly. The suspect was handed over to receive medical attention by the Red Crescent Society."
An eyewitness recounted, "Special forces arrived at the home of nearby families, surrounded the house and began shooting at people. They then arrested some individuals and beat them. They burned a car, arrested people, and placed them in jeeps parked near the olive trees."
