At least 41,272 people have been killed and 95,551 wounded in Israel’s war on Gaza. In Israel, the number of those killed in the Hamas-led attacks on October 7 was at least 1,139 while more than 200 people were taken captive.
Footage has emerged from the occupied West Bank town of Qabatiya showing Israeli soldiers pushing dead bodies off a roof following a raid on Thursday that killed at least five Palestinians.
“This is a serious incident that is not in line with [Israeli military] values and what is expected of (Israeli military) soldiers,” the Israeli military said in a statement.
The Israeli military claims it killed four Palestinian gunmen during the clashes, while it carried out a drone strike against several more alleged gunmen in a car.
The Israeli military also opened fire on a group of journalists filming the incursion from a nearby building.
Mustafa Barghouti, the secretary-general of the Palestinian National Initiative, told media that footage of Israeli soldiers throwing Palestinians from a roof in the occupied West Bank “shows absolutely savage and inhuman behavior”.
Barghouti added he wasn’t sure if the soldiers had checked if the people they threw from the roof “were still alive or not”.
“You cannot say that this is a part of the war because there is no war in the West Bank,” he said. “There is war from one side, military actions from one side on a civilian population.”
