The Israel Defense Forces earlier said it was “a serious incident” that goes against its values and principles.
Palestinian officials say at least seven people were killed by Israeli forces in Qabatiya on Thursday.
Under international law, soldiers are obliged to ensure that even the dead bodies of their enemies are treated with respect.
The IDF said it carried out an anti-terrorist operation in Qabatiya, in which four militants were killed in an “exchange of fire” and three others were killed after a drone attack on a car.
