00:00With his phone's flashlight, this father retraces his son's final hours.
00:05A paramedic and a volunteer for the Red Crescent, his son was,
00:09according to his father, shot during an Israeli raid in the West Bank.
00:14They shot him. Then they took him to the basement of the house and tied his hands with ropes.
00:19It was around five in the morning when the army withdrew.
00:23The neighbours came and saw blood. They followed it, found him tied up.
00:27May God rest his soul. He was martyred.
00:31That raid was just one in a series, carried out as part of a large-scale operation,
00:36starting overnight on Wednesday, by Israel in the West Bank.
00:40The Israeli military announced that it had killed multiple Palestinian militants
00:44and suspects in an overnight raid on a mosque.
00:47For the prime minister's office, the mission sends a message.
00:50Our policy is clear. There will be no safe place,
00:55no places of sanctuary, and no places where terrorists can feel safe.
01:01But the UN Commission for Human Rights is ringing alarm bells of abuses,
01:05saying the raids are seriously deepening an already catastrophic situation.
01:10Thousands of Palestinians have also been arbitrarily arrested and tortured,
01:14subjected to unrelenting settler violence,
01:16severe restrictions on their movement and expression,
01:19with their homes and property destroyed or seized, or forcibly displaced.
01:24Israel, as the occupying power, must abide by its obligations under international law.
01:30With strikes from above, but also bulldozed roads, and patrolling tanks like here in Jenin,
01:36which has been encircled by the Israeli army,
01:39as well as arrests in Palestinian refugee camps like here in Nir Shams,
01:43Israel is plowing ahead with the intense raids on the West Bank.
01:47Amidst increasing fears that Israel plans to broaden the war outside Gaza
01:51and expel Palestinians from other territories.
