Israeli soldier 'boasted about running over dead Palestinian man with tank'

An Israeli soldier is alleged to have posted a video of a Palestinian man's body and boasted about "running over him" with a tank.

Daniel Lurie, who according to his profile on X (formerly known as Twitter) is a 22-year-old Israeli reservist, posted a video on Monday featuring the dead body of a Palestinian seen through a tank window.

Alongside the video, Lurie wrote: "A second later I accidentally ran over him with a Merkava Mark 4 tank weighing 65 tons, 1500 horse power :)".

Lurie's X account has since been deleted, but his posts were compiled together in a thread by a social media user.

It is unclear where or when the video was taken, and Middle East Eye has not been able to independently verify the information contained within the thread.
