I think this is what he was talking about, from Arutz Sheva:

The Palestinians arranged a "funeral" for an Arab who was still alive - all in order to create an impression of more casualties than there actually were. Cameras aboard an Israel Air Force pilotless plane captured the images of the "funeral," which will be presented at a Foreign Ministry press conference this evening.

The film was made on Sunday, April 28, at 7 AM. The "body" was first seen walking, then being wrapped in mourning cloth, and finally coming to "life" when the procession concluded. It is apparent that most of the "mourners" were not aware that the funeral was staged. The presentation of the film is the latest effort in Israel's campaign to take the offensive in the ongoing public relations struggle with the Palestinians. The army says it is aware of other similar fake funerals, but that this was the first one it was able to film.

they accidentally drop the body and miraculously the dead guy stands up and gets back on the stretcher!!

And when he gets back on the stretcher, he's dead again!!! You can tell because HIS EYES ARE CLOSED!!!

Too bad the pilotless drone wasn't equipped with a few Hellfire missiles...they could have ended the film appropriately...by making the charade into reality.
