"قد يتساءل البعض لماذا عاد مسرعاً للوراء. هذه عادة للجيش الإسرائيلي وهي تدمير سيارات المواطنين بجيباتهم العسكرية المحصنة. ورغم رجوع صاحب السيارة إلى الوراء، إلا أن الجندي طارده حتى اصطدم بمركبته في الخليل بالضفة الغربية. الإيذاء من أجل إظهار القوة" - Source

Archivist Notes On This Video

translation of the caption :

"Some may wonder why he quickly reversed.

This is a common practice of the Israeli army: destroying citizens' vehicles with their armored jeeps. Even though the car owner reversed, the soldier chased him until he collided with his vehicle in Hebron, in the West Bank.

Harm to demonstrate power."

Archivist Notes: Incursion campaign in the West Bank localities

Since the ceasefire in Gaza on January 19, 2025, Israel has launched a particularly bloody and destructive operation (Iron Wall) against the city of Jenin and the surrounding localities. At the same time, operations to strengthen the occupation and block localities are taking place on a daily basis.

A campaign of obstruction is being carried out across all entrances, exits, and checkpoints in the West Bank, with the addition of numerous filtering or blocking points. Each locality is being isolated from the others.

At the same time, special forces and armored vehicles carry out numerous raids across various localities. These raids may be motivated by special operations such as arrests or acts of reprisal for moments of celebration welcoming Palestinian prisoners released as part of the ceasefire agreement. In some areas, snipers are deployed, while in others, D9 bulldozers destroy infrastructure. The entire system makes life for Palestinians even more unbearable and harshly reinforces the weight of the occupation
