FOOTAGE OF AN Israeli raid in the occupied West Bank showed a soldier pushing an apparently dead man off a rooftop, in what the army has described as a “serious incident”.
AFPTV footage of the operation in the town of Qabatiyah, near Jenin, on Thursday showed an Israeli soldier using his foot to roll the body towards the edge of the roof and then pushing him over, while at least two other soldiers looked on.
Qabatiyah is in the northern West Bank, where the military has been carrying out large-scale raids since late August that the Palestinian health ministry says have left dozens dead.
