The US State Department called the video of a wounded Palestinian man used as a human shield by Israeli troops on the front of a military jeep "shocking" and called for a swift investigation to hold accountable the people responsible.
"We saw that video, it was shocking. The practice was absolutely unacceptable. Humans should never be used as human shields. The IDF should swiftly investigate what happened, hold people accountable," Department spokesperson Matthew Miller said in a news briefing on Monday.
On Saturday, Israeli army forces tied a wounded Palestinian man to the hood of a military jeep during a raid in the occupied West Bank city of Jenin.
