In another video, a military excavator can be seen retrieving bodies from the scene, raising further concerns about the treatment of the deceased. According to international law, soldiers are required to ensure the respectful handling of all bodies, including those of enemy combatants.
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) responded to the incident, labeling it as “serious” and inconsistent with IDF values and the expected conduct of its soldiers. The military has confirmed that an investigation is currently in progress to address the situation and determine the appropriate actions to be taken.
