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.”

Gaza Sea: A Time Bomb in Waiting

As the sweltering summer heat intensifies and living conditions shrink for residents of the Gaza Strip, the beach is no longer just a place for picnics, relaxation, or seasonal recreation for hundreds of thousands of families. Instead, it has become the last remaining geographical refuge from the scorching heat inside dilapidated tents and overcrowded makeshift settlements.

Along the Gaza City coastline, large numbers of people flock daily in search of fleeting moments of respite and a breath of fresh air.

Faced with an unprecedented and severe shortage of potable water, dozens of families living near the beach have become directly dependent on seawater for their daily needs, such as bathing children and washing clothes and belongings, despite being fully aware of the associated environmental and microbiological risks.

This crisis is taking on even more complex dimensions as nearly two million Palestinians remain crammed into a narrow coastal strip that comprises only 12% of the Gaza Strip’s total area, according to data from the Civil Defense Authority.

This forced overcrowding along the coastline has made daily, direct contact with the marine environment the only viable option for saving lives from the sweltering heat and harsh displacement conditions.

Before the war, the relevant environmental and health authorities in the Gaza Strip subjected the beach waters to regular monitoring and testing. Based on these tests, they distributed color-coded awareness maps indicating safe and prohibited swimming areas for the public, using precise scientific indicators.

In the last official assessment published before the war, specifically in July 2023, the Palestinian Water and Environmental Quality Authority announced that approximately 60% of the Gaza Strip’s total coastline was classified as a safe and healthy environment for recreational swimming, based on microbiological tests and field health inspections. Pollution was limited to 40% of the coastline near known discharge points.

However, these figures and calculations are now outdated and cannot be applied to the situation in 2026 as reported in the Sanad News Agency.
