  • A video shared on Facebook purportedly shows Palestinians staging a scene to suggest a child had been shot by Israeli soldiers. Verdict: Misleading The video shows a behind-the-scenes look at a Palestinian short film about a 2015 incident between Palestinians and Israelis. Fact Check: Israel and Palestine have fought over territory in the West Bank and Gaza for 54 years, according to Human Rights Watch . Strikes have recently occurred between Israel and Hamas militants in the Gaza Strip, Al-Jazeera reported. The Facebook video shows a crew of people, one with a camera, preparing to film a shot featuring a young boy in a pool of blood on the ground. The Palestinians are faking scenes where a child is shot by Israeli soldiers, reads the video’s caption. I wish they spent all these resources to promote peace rather than propaganda. The video does not show a staged shot filmed for propaganda purposes. A reverse image search revealed the video first appeared on TikTok April 21. Behind the scenes of filming a short film about the story of the child prisoner Ahmed Manasra the caption reads in Arabic. The footage appears to show a crew preparing to film part of a 2-minute film titled Empty Place, which was shared on YouTube April 18 and shows the same young boy in a lightning bolt T-shirt lying on the ground in a pool of blood. A clip from the film was also shared on Facebook by the film’s director, Awni Eshtaiwe. The film is based on the true story of Ahmed Manasra, a Palestinian boy who was arrested in 2015 at the age of 13 after he and his 15-year-old cousin stabbed two Israelis, seriously wounding both, according to The Times of Israel . His cousin was shot to death by Israeli security forces during the attack while Manasra was hit by a car while attempting to flee the scene, the outlet reported.
