Israeli Soldiers Strap Palestinian on Armored Vehicle and Parade in Jenin

Mujahed Raed Al Abbadi was beaten outside his home to an inch of his life by Israeli soldiers in a military vehicle. The cosines and friends he was standing with outside his house in Jenin also suffered gunshot wounds.

But Mujahed was the worse to suffer. He was beaten and shot twice both in the hand and leg. As he fell down in front of the vehicle, one Israeli soldier shot him in the leg. But this was just the beginning because the soldiers decided they wanted a show.

“As soon as the Israeli soldiers arrived, they stepped on my head, they stepped on my head while I was wounded. They hit me in the face, kicked me, hit me on the wound in my leg and twisted and injured my hand…”

With the young men sprawelled in pain on the floor, four soldiers picked him by the arms and legs and hurled him onto the hood of the armored vehicle but he fell down again. The soldiers did it again, this time he maintained position on of the car.

This is the why he put it.  “Every bone was broken. They completely broken the bones in my hand and my leg and they laughed about it and played while they beat me. Two of the soldiers grabbed my hands and two others my feet and started waving me back and forth and throwing me onto the front of the military car, but I fell to the ground.”

But the sadistic fun continued. The soldiers strapped him to the front the vehicle and rode around for another 15 minutes in the different areas of camp before they let him go.

“It was scorching hot he says and my back was burning and I stayed there for 20 minites,” he was reported as saying from his hospital bed.

“He had an open fracture and last a part of his tissues, muscles and skin,~” said Bahaa Abu Hammad, an orthopaedic doctor.

“He was treated in A & E, the wounds were washed, antibiotics, given and X-rays were taken, it later became clear that there was a complicated fracture of the right femur and humerus. He underwent emergency surgery, during which, the fractures were stabilized externally and will require internal fixation at a later date.”

Occupied Palestinian Territories in Crisis

The Occupied Palestinian Territory is facing a severe humanitarian crisis, with both Gaza and the West Bank experiencing unprecedented levels of violence and deprivation.

In Gaza, following the collapse of a brief pause in hostilities in March 2025, Israeli forces resumed intensive bombardment while maintaining a complete blockade that has now entered its eighth week, preventing all humanitarian aid and commercial supplies from entering.

This has left Gaza’s 2.2 million residents facing starvation as food stocks deplete, bakeries cease operations due to lack of flour and fuel, and nearly 90% of the population remains displaced with critical infrastructure almost entirely destroyed.

A new U.S.-backed peace plan led to a pause in hostilities agreement coming into effect on 10 October 2025, raising cautious hopes for increased humanitarian access and a potential reduction in hostilities after months of relentless violence. However, despite the pause in hostilities, sporadic violations, limited aid entry, and continued displacement highlight the fragility of the pause in hostilities and the deep humanitarian strain that persists across Gaza.

Meanwhile, the West Bank has seen a dramatic escalation in military operations, particularly since the launch of “Operation Iron Wall” in January 2025, which has resulted in mass displacement of Palestinians and widespread destruction across refugee camps. Israeli forces have displaced approximately 40,000 people, with officials stating that residents will not be allowed to return for at least a year, while expanded checkpoints and military presence severely restrict movement between Palestinian cities.

International organisations and UN bodies have expressed increasing concern about systematic violations of international humanitarian law in the West Bank, including accelerating settlement expansion, land reclassification and forced displacement that multiple observers warn are driving de facto annexation dynamics.

These concerns have intensified following the International Court of Justice’s 2024 advisory opinion on the illegality of the prolonged occupation and the Israeli authorities’ security cabinet decisions of 8 February 2026 expanding civil and administrative control over West Bank land and governance.

Palestinian Journalists Under Attack – 55 Israeli Violations in May

The Palestinian Journalists Association (PJA) announced, Monday, it documented 55 violations by Israeli occupation soldiers against Palestinian journalists in last May. It described such violations are part of a  systematic policy to restrict and prevent West Bank and Gaza journalists to carry out their professional duties.

The PJA’s Freedoms Committee said in a press statement to Quds Press the Israeli occupation continues its violations against journalists and media workers to limit their ability to report the truth and document attacks and violations against Palestinians.

The documented violations during May included two injuries from live ammunition while covering events in the field, two arbitrary arrests, and 30 cases of detention and prevention from working and covering events.

The committee also recorded five cases of direct gunfire directed at journalists, five attacks using tear gas and stun grenades, in addition to two cases of confiscation of journalistic equipment and two cases of physical assault on journalists.

The violations include two cases of journalists being barred from covering news at the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound, one of a media outlet being raided and shut down, another of a journalist being brought before a court and three cases of journalists summoned and interrogated.

The committee affirmed that these practices constitute a flagrant violation of international humanitarian law, the Geneva Conventions, and international covenants on freedom of opinion and expression, which stipulate the protection of journalists while performing their professional duties in conflict zones.

It added that the escalating targeting of journalists reflects a systematic approach aimed at restricting media coverage and preventing the dissemination of information about the reality and violations suffered by the Palestinian people. The committee noted that the occupation continues to use various means to suppress media work and obstruct the public’s access to information.

The Committee for Freedoms called on international human rights and media organizations, as well as the United Nations, to uphold their legal and moral responsibilities, pressure the occupation authorities to cease their ongoing violations against Palestinian journalists, hold those responsible accountable, and provide the necessary protection for media workers.

The PJA announced last May it documented nearly 300 Israeli crimes, violations, and attacks against Palestinian journalists since the beginning of 2026 and the trend is set to continue judging from the scale of esclation against media workers.

The press association indicated at the time the number of journalists killed reached 262 since the outbreak of the war on the Gaza Strip in October 2023, including 261 journalists murdered in the Gaza Strip, in addition to six journalists killed since the beginning of 2026.

This comes at a time when Israeli attacks against Palestinians continue in various areas, amid increasing complaints about the targeting of journalists, the obstruction of their work, and the prevention of their coverage of events on the ground and their reporting to the public.
