In the northern West Bank village of Qabatiya, IDF soldiers have been seen using markers to label Palestinians with numbers on their bodies. One such incident occurred on Monday when a Palestinian, who was interrogated by troops, still bore the number 44 on his forehead. According to the man, multiple individuals were marked during the raid.
During the interrogation, the soldiers warned the resident not to engage in clashes with settlers if the latter were to raid the village. Settler incursions have become frequent in the West Bank, where Israeli extremists' violence has been largely unchallenged. Earlier in April, IDF soldiers marked the hands of Palestinians returning to the Jenin refugee camp to collect their belongings.
The army has been engaged in a counterterror operation in the camp for several months, displacing thousands of Palestinians who lived there. The IDF claimed the marking of the camp residents' sections on their hands was their idea, but acknowledged the act as a case of poor judgment.
