Israeli Soldiers Have Been Filmed Throwing Palestinian Men’s Bodies Off A Rooftop In The West Bank
According to Palestinian news agency Wafa, the Israeli army had raided the building, shot three Palestinian men on the rooftop and threw them off the building.
Israeli soldiers have been filmed pushing three Palestinian men off the rooftop of a building during a raid in the town of Qabatiya in the Israeli-occupied West Bank.
The Israeli military stormed the town on Thursday Sep. 19 along with bulldozers, fighter jets and drones, attacking it for hours and killing at least seven people, according to Palestinian news agency Wafa.
In a video that has gone viral on social media, Israeli soldiers were seen pushing what looked like lifeless bodies of Palestinian men off the rooftop of a building they had attacked during the raid.
The incident was captured by from several angles by multiple people, including an AP journalist.
The videos showed one soldier clearly kicking a body over the edge.
According to Wafa, the Israeli army had raided the building, shot three Palestinian men on the rooftop and threw them off the building.
The men's bodies were then mutilated by an Israeli bulldozer before they were taken away by the military, Wafa reported.
Under International humanitarian law, also known as the rules of war, soldiers and fighters must ensure that bodies, including those of the enemy, are treated with dignity.
The Israeli military said it had killed four Palestinainn gunmen during its raids but added that it would "review" the incident.
“This is a serious incident that is not in line with [Israeli army] values and what is expected of [Israeli army] soldiers,” it said in a statement.
During the Israeli military's raid, it also besieged a group of civilians, including children, inside the town building and opened fire on a group of journalists filming its raid from another building.
Israel has killed more than 600 Palestinians in the occupied West Bank since Oct. 7, making it the deadliest year in the West Bank since the United Nations began tracking casualties in 2005, according to Al Jazeera.
