On June 22, 2024, a video was posted of an injured Palestinian man strapped to the hood of an Israeli jeep driving through [[Jenin]]. Another eyewitness asserted that the IDF paraded the wounded man around on the hood, keeping the victim under the hot sun for several minutes, until handing him over to a [[Palestine Red Crescent Society|Palestinian Red Cross]] ambulance which was parked nearby. This, the source argued, was evidence that the wounded man was not a suspect, as the IDF later maintained.<ref>Shatha Hanaysha, [https://mondoweiss.net/2024/06/wounded-palestinian-man-strapped-to-front-of-israeli-army-vehicle-used-as-human-shield/ Wounded Palestinian man strapped to front of Israeli army vehicle, used as human shield] [[Mondoweiss]] 22 June 2024</ref><ref>Robert Plummer, [https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cjqq5n8911do 'Israeli army strapped wounded Palestinian to jeep,'] [[BBC News]] 22 June 2024</ref> A UN expert said the incident amounted to the use of human shields.<ref>{{cite news |date=23 June 2024 |title='Human shielding in action': Israeli forces strap Palestinian man to jeep |url=https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2024/6/23/human-shielding-in-action-israeli-forces-strap-palestinian-man-to-jeep |publisher=[[Al Jazeera]]}}</ref>
