Israeli Forces Accused of Brutal Crime in West Bank The West Bank has been the site of increased violence and tensions in recent months, with Palestinian officials accusing Israeli forces of a brutal crime captured in footage that has gone viral on social media. The footage appears to show a military vehicle running over a dead militant in Tulkarem in the occupied West Bank. The incident was linked to a military operation by the Israeli military, during which three militants were killed and gun battles erupted.

The foreign ministry of the Palestinian Authority condemned the incident, describing it as a "complex and brutal crime" which is not the first in a series of crimes of the occupation. The Palestinian Health Ministry has reported that at least 334 people have been killed in the West Bank by Israeli army raids and settler attacks since October 7. The footage has sparked outrage among Palestinians and others, with large crowds gathering for the funeral of the men killed.

The incident has reignited tensions in the West Bank, which has been under Israeli occupation since 1967. This incident adds to the ongoing conflict in the region, following attacks on Israel by Palestinian armed groups, and comes amid rising tensions between Israel and Hezbollah, raising fears of another war breaking out. There is now a South Africa’s genocide case against Israel set to be heard at the International Court of Justice this week.
