CNN other media sources: Israeli soldiers throwing bodies off roof in West Bank

CNN, Aljazeera, and other media outlets, including social media sites,  reported on Israeli soldiers throwing bodies off roof in West Bank. 

Palestinians shared photos on social media showing Israeli occupation soldiers mutilating the bodies of three Palestinians who were martyred in the town of Qabatiya, north of the West Bank, and throwing them from the roof of a house on Thursday morning.

The footage showed Israeli soldiers climbing onto the roof of a building, holding each of the bodies of the three dead Palestinians, and then throwing them one by one from the roof of the building.

CNN reported that the scene of Israeli soldiers throwing bodies off roof in West Bank 

"was filmed from several angles by residents of Qabatya, near Jenin, and witnessed by an Associated Press (AP) reporter. CNN cannot confirm whether the men whose bodies were thrown from the building were dead, though their bodies are motionless and appear lifeless.

The longest video shows three Israeli soldiers standing on a rooftop. They can be seen pushing a body over the edge of the building. The feet of the body get stuck in what appears to be electrical or telephone cables, and it dangles over the edge, headfirst. One of the soldiers then reaches over to dislodge the person’s feet, and the body tumbles to the ground.

Approaching a second body on the roof, a soldier picks up the person’s hands and another picks up the feet. They swing the body back and forth, then toss it over the side.

Finally, a soldier uses his feet to kick a third body over the side of the building."

US government reacted to the video depicting Israeli troops throwing Palestinian bodies off building characterizing it as ‘deeply disturbing,’ if authentic and stating that 'it clearly would depict abhorrent and egregious behavior".
