The Israeli army has recently targeted the city of Tulkerim in the conflict that has been ongoing since October 7. The raids on the city have caused great destruction and there have been casualties.
THEY SURVEYED THE HOUSE
According to the Palestinian state television, Israeli soldiers who raided the city of Tulkerim have surrounded a house. The report drew attention to the clashes that took place around the house that was under siege in the Azbet al-Jerad area of Tulkerim, and emphasized that the Israeli army hit the house with a kamikaze drone.
LIFE SHIELD SPREAD ON SOCIAL MEDIA
In the images circulating on social media, a Palestinian who was detained by Israeli soldiers who raided the city was seen being tied to the top of a military vehicle and used as a human shield.
On the other hand, the official Palestinian news agency WAFA reported that Israeli soldiers raided the city and that a large number of unmanned aerial vehicles were flying over the city.
The report noted that a large number of military vehicles, bulldozers and excavators were sent to the Azbet al-Cerad region of Tulkerim.
Yesterday, seven Palestinians lost their lives in attacks carried out by Israeli forces in the occupied West Bank cities of Hebron and Tulkarim.
The number of Palestinians killed in attacks by Israeli soldiers and Israelis who have usurped Palestinian lands in the occupied West Bank and East Jerusalem since October 7, 2023 has risen to 585.
Since October 7, 2023, when Israel launched its attack on the Gaza Strip, there has been an increase in detentions, raids and attacks against Palestinians in the occupied West Bank and East Jerusalem.
IT’S NOT THE FIRST TIME THEY’VE DONE THIS
On June 22, Israeli soldiers used a young Palestinian who was wounded during a raid on the northern West Bank town of Jabīn, tying him to a military vehicle and using him as a “human shield.”
Speaking to the official Palestinian news agency WAFA, Jenin Hospital Director Visam Bekr said that Israeli soldiers wounded three young men with guns during a raid on a house in the Al-Jabiriyyat neighborhood of Jenin, tied one of the young men to the hood of a military jeep and used him as a human shield, preventing first aid teams from reaching the wounded Palestinian.
Images of the wounded Palestinian youth being taken away tied to the front of a military jeep were also shared on social media. The images showed the military jeep in question passing between two ambulances.
Eyewitnesses also stated that soldiers used the young Palestinians as human shields to avoid any bomb attacks or shootings while withdrawing from the area.
