The Israeli military has confirmed it is investigating a video showing soldiers apparently throwing bodies from a rooftop during an operation in the West Bank. 

The incident reportedly occurred on Thursday in the town of Qabatiya, where the IDF says its troops engaged in an exchange of fire. 

“This is a serious incident that does not coincide with the IDF values and the expectations from IDF soldiers,” the military agency said in a statement. “The incident is under review.” 

In a video of the incident, three soldiers can be seen picking up a body and dragging it to the edge of a roof as troops stand below, according to The Associated Press. The soldiers peer over the edge before throwing the body off. 

In another instance, a soldier kicks a body toward the edge before it falls out of view, the AP reports. 

The identities of the bodies were not immediately clear. 

Photos captured by AP during the operation show an Israeli army bulldozer moving near the buildings where the bodies were dropped. 

“There is no military need to do this. It’s just a savage way of treating Palestinian bodies,” Shawan Jabarin, the director of Palestinian rights group Al-Haq, said to the news agency after watching the footage. 

Israel said its troops had killed seven militants in total on Thursday — four during operations in the gun battle and three in an airstrike on a car carrying militants who the military said had fired at troops. As of Friday, no militant group had claimed any of the dead as its fighters.
