US shocked by video of wounded Palestinian tied to Israeli military jeep

The U.S. State Department on Monday said a video of a wounded Palestinian man strapped on a military jeep by Israeli forces was “shocking” and urged a swift investigation to hold those responsible to account.
At a State Department news briefing, a reporter asked: “Isn’t that basically the army using Palestinians as human shields?”
State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller responded: “I will say 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,” Miller said, using an acronym for the Israel Defense Forces.
On Saturday, Israeli army forces tied a wounded Palestinian man to the hood of a military jeep during an arrest raid in the occupied West Bank city of Jenin, the Israeli military said.
