IDF launches investigation into soldiers' actions after video emerges of bodies being thrown off West Bank roof
ai generated text
The Israeli military is investigating an incident in which soldiers were filmed throwing the bodies of three Palestinians from a rooftop in the northern occupied West Bank. The incident occurred in the town of Qabatiya, where at least seven people were reportedly killed by Israeli forces on Thursday. Footage of the incident appears to show the bodies being picked up and removed by an Israeli military bulldozer. However, it is unclear whether the men whose bodies were thrown were dead, as they appear motionless and lifeless but CNN cannot confirm their status. The incident has sparked outrage and is being investigated by the Israeli military.
The soldiers conducted exchanges of fire with terrorists, eliminating four. No IDF injuries were reported.
This is a serious incident that does not coincide with IDF values and the expectations from IDF soldiers. The incident is under review.
The terrorists' vehicle had weapons and explosives that caused a secondary explosion.
We've seen that video, and we found it deeply disturbing. If it's proven to be authentic, it clearly would depict abhorrent and egregious behaviour by professional soldiers.
There is no military need to do this. It's just a savage way of treating Palestinian bodies.
Soldiers went up and kicked and pushed the bodies off the roof, as we have seen. They kicked and pushed and threw three different bodies from one roof, and a fourth body was thrown off the adjacent roof a few meters below.
A bulldozer tried to demolish the house to bring the bodies down. That didn't work. Soldiers went up and kicked and pushed the bodies off the roof, as we have seen.
