Last week, Israel’s military admitted that one of its vehicles “unintentionally” ran over the body of a Palestinian militant during a counter-terrorism operation in the occupied West Bank. After the video went viral on social media, Palestinian officials accused Israel of committing a brutal crime as the footage showed an Israeli military vehicle running over a dead militant in the city of Tulkarem.
Israel’s “unintentional” operation
As per the media reports, the Israeli military said they had killed three terrorists in exchanges of gunfire during an operation to arrest a wanted man. The operational vehicle that is seen in the video was dispatched to extricate the force that was caught under heavy fire and unintentionally ran over the terrorist’s body, the Israeli military said in response to an AFP request for comment.
Other footage shared on social media from the incident shows a group of men running out of a building and three of them being shot. The military said it would review what had happened and added that the video does not clearly show the incident.
