IDF Uses Palestinian Prisoners as Human Shields in Gaza, Report Says
The report came after a video emerged of IDF troops driving with an injured Palestinian strapped to the top of the jeep’s hood
Every accusation is a confession.
Al Jazeera said it received exclusive footage of IDF troops using Palestinian prisoners as human shields while carrying out missions inside the war-torn Gaza Strip.
Hamdah Salhut, a reporter for the news outlet, posted on X that these prisoners “were forced to enter tunnels while tied to ropes, and search buildings with hands behind their backs & cameras strapped to them.”
The report came after a video emerged of IDF troops driving with an injured Palestinian strapped to the top of the jeep’s hood. The Times of Israel reported that the video was taken in the occupied West Bank city of Jenin, and the vehicle could be seen passing two ambulances.
Israel said the soldiers violated military protocol and there will be an investigation. The IDF said the “conduct of the forces in the video of the incident does not conform to the values” of the Israeli military, the paper said.
