A Palestinian man was detained, beaten and thrown from an ‘Israeli’ military vehicle outside the West Bank village of Al-Mughayyir on Saturday, according to the ‘Israeli’ activist group Looking the Occupation in the Eye (Mistaclim).
The group, which maintains a protective presence in the occupied West Bank and documents incidents involving soldiers and settlers, posted video footage and a statement on X.
“Holy Shabbat. Al-Mughayyir, Ramallah and Al-Bireh Governorate. After being detained, interrogated and beaten - a Palestinian man was thrown of a military vehicle and the soldiers continued on their way. Don’t bother ‘our finest sons’ with questions about morality, the code of ethics or the physician’s oath,” the group said.
Holy Shabbat.

The short video accompanying the posts shows the incident occurring outside the village northeast of Ramallah.
Activists from the group described the sequence as detention followed by interrogation and physical assault before the man was ejected from the vehicle and left as the soldiers drove away.
No further details on the man’s identity, the precise reason for the stop, or any subsequent medical treatment were immediately provided.
Al-Mughayyir has experienced repeated friction involving ‘Israeli’ forces and settlers in recent months and years, including land access restrictions, tree uprooting, and violent confrontations.
The village, home to several thousand residents, sits in an area where Palestinian communities report frequent military operations and settler activity that has limited access to agricultural land.
Looking the Occupation in the Eye regularly monitors and publicizes such events as part of its stated aim of documenting the realities of the occupation for the ‘Israeli’ public.
