A horrifying video has emerged from West Bank showing Israeli soldiers killing Palestinian men on a building and throwing the bodies from rooftop.
The incident took place in the Jenin camp during Israeli raid.
Videos showed military personnel killing the men. They then appear to drag the bodies to edge of the roof and threw them one by one.
Reporters saw two male bodies on the roof of a building in Qabatiya, and a third corpse lying on a sheet of metal one floor below.
The videos sparked an outcry on social media over the inhuman treatment to the dead.
On the other hand, the Israeli military said on Thursday that an air strike killed four Palestinians in the Jenin area of the occupied West Bank.
Jenin is a bastion of Palestinian groups fighting Israel, and has been a focus of large-scale Israeli military raids launched in late August that the Palestinian health ministry says have killed dozens.
“A short while ago, the (Israel Defense Forces) struck armed groups operating within a vehicle in the area of Qabatiya in Jenin, as part of a counterterrorism operation,” the military said.
A separate statement on its website said “an aircraft eliminated four members in the Jenin area.”
Since the large-scale raids began in late August, Hamas and another group, Palestinian Islamic Jihad, have claimed at least 14 of the fatalities as members.
Israeli forces have also arrested dozens of Palestinians and left widespread destruction in what European Union foreign policy chief Josep Borrell last week said aimed “to turn the West Bank into a new Gaza.”
Major Israeli operations in the West Bank are sometimes occurring “at a scale not witnessed in the last two decades,” the United Nations human rights chief, Volker Turk, said on September 9.
