IDF barbarity 6/24/2024

 

                                                    IDF barbarity

I am writing to express my deep concern over the recent actions of the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF), which have once again highlighted the ongoing issues of military conduct and human rights in the occupied West Bank. On Saturday, Israeli troops tied a wounded Palestinian, Mujahid Ballas, to the top of a military vehicle during an operation in Wadi Burqin, near Jenin. This disturbing incident, captured on video, has rightfully sparked outrage.

The raid aimed to arrest individuals suspected of involvement in militant activities, leading to a firefight between Palestinian militants and Israeli soldiers. Mujahid Ballas, who was injured and later identified as a 22-year-old resident of Jenin, was tied to the vehicle. Ballas, who sustained gunshot wounds and burns from the vehicle’s hood, was eventually handed over to the Palestinian Red Crescent for medical treatment. His father, Raed Ballas, insists that Mujahid was not involved in militant activities and was merely visiting his uncle’s house when the raid occurred.

The IDF has killed over 500 Palestinians since October 7. The near-nightly raids by the Israeli military have also led to the arrest of thousands of Palestinians.

This incident underscores the urgent need for a thorough and transparent investigation into the IDF's actions.
