The Israeli military has launched an investigation after videos surfaced showing soldiers pushing the mutilated bodies of Palestinian men off rooftops during a raid in the West Bank town of Qabatiya. The incident, which occurred on Thursday, involved three soldiers who were filmed shoving the bodies of at least three Palestinians from a rooftop following an exchange of fire. The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) described the event as a serious incident not in line with their values. Eyewitnesses, including an Associated Press journalist, confirmed the occurrence. The footage has sparked outrage and raised concerns over the treatment of Palestinian bodies during military operations. The raid resulted in the deaths of seven Palestinians, and the Israeli military also opened fire on a group of journalists filming the raid from a nearby building.
