On March 8, Palestinians released a video showing IDF troops pushing a car into a ravine. The incident occurred on Saturday afternoon in Surif, 8 miles north of Hebron. The video shows the car being pushed into the ravine, and Palestinians claimed the driver was arrested.
The IDF said in a statement that: "The incident in the Surif area is being investigated by the brigade commander. During an operational activity, IDF troops identified a suspicious, non-roadworthy vehicle intended for towing. Contrary to protocol, the commander of the force decided to push the vehicle into the ravine. This is a serious incident that does not align with IDF values. Following the investigation, the commander was suspended from his position."
