Israeli army says forces violated protocol by strapping wounded Palestinian man to jeep | BBC News
The Israeli military has said its forces violated protocol by strapping a wounded Palestinian man to the front of their vehicle during a raid in the West Bank city of Jenin.
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) confirmed the incident after it was captured on video and shared on social media.
An IDF statement said the man was wounded in an exchange of fire during the raid, in which he was a suspect.
The injured man’s family said that when they asked for an ambulance, the army took him, strapped him to the bonnet of their jeep and drove off.
The individual was eventually transferred to the Red Crescent for treatment and the IDF said the incident would be investigated.

A US naval blockade of Iran’s ports in the Strait of Hormuz is in effect after both countries failed to reach a deal during peace talks in Pakistan at the weekend.
Speaking at the White House, US President Donald Trump says Iran wants a deal “very badly” and he warned in a social media post that any Iranian “fast attack ships” caught trying to approach the blockade “will be immediately ELIMINATED”.
Earlier, Iran’s parliament speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf said the country would not “surrender under threats”.
Meanwhile, the Pope has responded to criticism levelled at him by President Trump, saying he has “no intention to debate” the war with the US president – Trump had accused the pontiff of being “terrible for foreign policy”.

Why has an oyster fisherman from Maine – criticised for having a Nazi tattoo – become a frontrunner for the Democrats, and one of their best hopes to help take back the US Senate in this year’s midterm elections?
The north eastern state of Maine has become integral for Democrats as they look to unseat Republican senator Susan Collins, and elect their first Democrat senator in decades.
But it also tells a bigger story, about how the Democratic party is looking to take on Donald Trump more widely, beyond this November’s midterms and into the 2028 presidential elections.
Justin and Anthony unpack what Maine tells us about Democrat strategy and why Graham Platner, currently polling first, is not a typical Democrat candidate. And does it tell us something significant about what voters want in 2026?
Plus, we speak to Josh Keefe, a reporter for the nonprofit Maine Monitor, who went to school with Graham Platner. He discusses his memories of Platner, and what Mainers think about his tattoo and Reddit scandals.

A 10-day ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon has begun, with celebrations and fireworks in the Lebanese capital Beirut.
More than 2,000 people in Lebanon have been killed in the six-week conflict, with one in five people displaced; Israel said two of its civilians and 13 soldiers have been killed.
In Lebanon, our reporter said people are desperate for respite, while Israeli media report some residents close to the border in northern Israel feel betrayed.
The BBC’s chief international correspondent Lyse Doucet is reporting from Tehran on condition that none of her material is used on the BBC’s Persian Service. These restrictions apply to all international media organisations operating in Iran.

China has warned that President Trump”s decision to mount a naval blockade of Iran’s ports is “dangerous and irresponsible” and threatens the recent ceasefire in the Middle East.
The US navy has begun blockading the strait of Hormuz, following the failure of peace talks between American and Iranian negotiators in Pakistan.
US Central Command says it has prevented any ships from passing through the strait since it began the blockade.
Russian and Chinese foreign ministers have been meeting to discuss the Iran crisis. The Chinese said the blockade would escalate tension and undermine the fragile ceasefire. China is a major buyer of Iranian oil and an ally of Tehran.
Donald Trump has unexpectedly announced that new peace talks with Iran may begin within the next two days.
