A new video that spread across social media over the weekend is purported to show a wounded Palestinian man strapped to the hood of an Israeli military vehicle traveling around the West Bank, prompting calls for an investigation by U.S. and other international officials.

Al Jazeera was among the first outlets to begin sharing the footage on social media on June 22. In a post on social media platform X, Al Jazeera correspondent Hamdah Salhut claimed the Israeli forces seen in the video were using the wounded man as a “human shield” during a raid in the Jenin community of the West Bank.
