Video captures Israeli soldiers pushing dead bodies from roof
This report from Aljazeera english service is contained in a Video from the occupied West Bank town of Qabatiya shows Israeli soldiers pushing dead bodies off a roof in a raid that killed at least five Palestinians. The Israeli military also opened fire on a group of journalists filming the raid from a nearby building.
Video footage verified by Al Jazeera showed soldiers pushing apparently lifeless individuals off the rooftop of a building that they had earlier surrounded and attacked with antitank rifle grenades, one soldier clearly seen kicking one of the bodies until it fell over the edge.

Wafa reported on Friday that the Israeli army had thrown three men off the building, having earlier shot them on the rooftop, a military bulldozer later taking their bodies away.
Mustafa Barghouti, the secretary-general of the Palestinian National Initiative, told Al Jazeera that the footage had shown “absolutely savage and inhuman behaviour”.
