In the video circulating on social media, two slow-moving military vehicles can be seen, with a wounded man tied to the hood of the first one.

During an operation aimed at capturing wanted Palestinians, Israeli soldiers were fired upon and returned fire, wounding the suspect who was then captured, said the military in a statement. Later, the soldiers placed the wounded man on the hood of the vehicle, which was a "violation of orders and procedures."

The behavior seen in the video is against the values of the Israeli army, and we are conducting an investigation into this matter, the army noted in a statement. It was further added that the captured Palestinian was handed over to medical services.

Reuters verified the video and interviewed witnesses of the incident. According to the family's account, the man was wounded during the raid, and when relatives asked the soldiers to call an ambulance, they strapped him to the hood and drove away.

Violence in the West Bank has escalated further following the outbreak of the war conducted by Israel in the Gaza Strip against Hamas. Since then, regular raids by the Israeli military on Palestinian militant groups have intensified, as well as attacks by Jewish settlers on Palestinian villages and terrorist attacks organized by Palestinians.

After October 7, 2023, Israeli forces arrested about 4,150 Palestinians in the West Bank. According to the Palestinian Authority, at least 549 people were killed by settlers and Israeli soldiers during this time. In terrorist attacks organized by Palestinians, 21 Israelis were also killed.
