Israeli soldiers pushed four apparently lifeless bodies from rooftops during a raid in the occupied West Bank on Thursday, according to an Associated Press journalist at the scene and videos obtained by AP.

The soldiers’ behaviour in the town of Qabatiya was the latest in a series of suspected violations by Israeli forces since the start of the Israel-Hamas war.
