Graphic CCTV images from the occupied West Bank show Israeli military vehicles running over the bodies of two apparently dead Palestinians who had been shot by Israeli border police.

The images from the city of Tulkarm show two men in dark clothing falling to the ground with accompanying audio carrying the sounds of several shots.

An Israeli military vehicle then drives up to the two unmoving bodies and rolls over one, coming to rest with its rear wheel on top of the body.

Images apparently recorded later show one body having allegedly been moved to the side of the road while another vehicle backs over the other body and then maneuvers over it twice more.

The Palestinian health ministry said three Palestinians had been shot dead by Israeli forces in Tulkarm. Earlier the border police said its commandos raided Tulkarm to arrest a wanted militant and killed three Palestinian gunmen in a clash. But the Tulkarm Brigades claimed only one of the slain Palestinians as its member.

The aunt of one of the dead men told Reuters the Israeli forces had the chance to arrest the men - but instead shot them repeatedly.
