Videos show Israeli soldiers throwing the bodies of three dead Palestinian men off of a building during an Israel Defense Forces (IDF) raid in Jenin in the West Bank on September 19. Seven people were killed in the operation. The IDF described the incident as “serious” after the footage's emergence. We analysed these photos and spoke to witnesses to find out more about the incident the White House called “deeply disturbing”.

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) carried out a raid on September 19 in Qabatiya, a town in the Jenin governorate of the West Bank, where IDF operations have intensified in recent months. In a message published in Hebrew on the IDF’s Telegram channel on September 20, the IDF said that seven people had been killed in the raid, including “four armed terrorists during an exchange of gunfire”.
