IDF also accused of denying injured civilians urgent health treatment
Left bleeding for hours then strapped to an Israeli military vehicle. ‘Human shield’ Mujhed Abadi appeals for justiceHe says he was kept there for about 15 or 20 minutes, until the soldiers realised he was not a “wanted” person and asked an ambulance to take him. He says some of his relatives were arrested in the same raid.
Abadi says in the aftermath he received a call from Palestinian president Mahmoud Abbas, asking how he was and wishing him a “speedy recovery”. In a statement to The Irish Times, the IDF said Abadi had initially been a “suspect” who was injured “during counterterrorism operations” after “terrorists opened fire at IDF troops”.
Alsadi says there are often Israeli attacks on his team of 26 people, plus volunteers, when they are rescuing or moving the injured. For that reason, it is now mandatory for them to wear Palestinian Red Crescent-branded red flak jackets and helmets during raids. “Before we knew how to deal with Israelis ... how to approach . Now they seem like they’re not in communication with each other, and anyone can shoot.
Though international attention is focused on the mass death and destruction in Gaza, locals say a slower kind of war has been taking place in the occupied West Bank for years. The UN recorded nearly 1,000 Palestinians killed in the West Bank between January 2020 and the beginning of June 2024, with at least 271 of them in Jenin governorate.
In one incident, just down the corridor from Abadi’s room in the Ibn Sina Specialised Hospital, Israeli forces shot and killed three men on January 30th, 2024. CCTV videos show armed Israeli soldiers dressed in disguises, including medical scrubs and women’s clothes. A spokesman for the hospitaljournalists that one of the men who was killed had been undergoing treatment since October and was “paralysed”.
