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.
