Israel opens investigation after videos appear to show soldiers pushing bodies off West Bank roof

The Israeli military has said it opened an investigation after videos showed soldiers pushing what appear to be dead bodies off a roof in the occupied West Bank during a raid against Palestinian militants.

The videos, which began circulating online on Thursday, showed three soldiers on the roof of a building in the town of Qabatiya, dragging, pushing, throwing and in one case kicking what appear to be dead men off the edge.

The Israeli military said in a statement the incident was serious and was not in keeping with its values.
