The Israeli army say it’s investigating the conduct of some of its soldiers after a wounded Palestinian man was tied to the hood of a military vehicle during a raid in the occupied West Bank. The Israel Defense Forces confirmed the incident in Jenin after footage of it circulated on social media. A UN official has accused Israel of using the wounded man as a human shield.
In Gaza, officials from the Hamas-led health ministry say at least 39 people have been killed by Israeli airstrikes in the north of the territory. Israel says its fighter jets struck two Hamas military sites in Gaza City. It’s the latest deadly incident as Israel continues its campaign to crush the Palestinian militant group.
Tens of thousands of people have taken to the streets across Israel in one of the largest mass demonstrations yet against the government of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Demonstrators in Tel Aviv and Jerusalem demanded new elections, and a deal for the release of hostages still being held by Hamas. It’s the latest in a string of weekly protests in Israel against the government’s handling of the war in Gaza.
