South Korean President Lee Jae-myung's livestream during the December 3, 2024 martial law crisis has sparked a diplomatic incident with Israel. The incident began when Lee Jae-myung quoted a post on X that included a video of Israeli Defense Forces soldiers throwing a body off a rooftop in Gaza. However, the video was actually from September 2024 and showed soldiers kicking, dragging, and eventually hurling a limp body from a rooftop. The bodies were identified as 'apparently lifeless' by The Associated Press.
