Palestinian officials leveled accusations of a "brutal crime" against Israel on Tuesday, citing footage circulated on social media that purportedly shows a military vehicle running over a deceased militant in the occupied West Bank. The video was said to be from a military operation in the city of Tulkarem.
The foreign ministry of the Palestinian Authority, governing the West Bank, decried the incident, asserting it exemplifies the "culture of hatred" allegedly propagated by Israeli forces. The footage has intensified tensions surrounding the already volatile situation in the region.
Israel's military acknowledged having killed three "terrorists" during operations in Tulkarem on Monday night, engaging in gun battles. However, as of now, they have not responded to requests for comment on the specific incident captured in the circulated video.
Describing the act as a "complex and brutal crime," the Palestinian ministry issued a statement, emphasizing that it is not an isolated event but part of a series of alleged crimes by the Israeli occupation and settler militia members. The video, which has garnered attention on social media, adds to the longstanding grievances and conflicts between the two sides, underscoring the challenges in achieving a resolution to the deeply rooted issues in the region.
