Fact Check: Viral video falsely claims to show Hamas burning Israeli soldiers; Details here
Jerusalem: A video circulating on social media, purportedly showing Hamas terrorists burning alive two Israeli soldiers, has been debunked. The video in question, which recently went viral, is not a recent incident involving Hamas and Israeli soldiers. Instead, the video dates back to 2016 and depicts a act committed by the Islamic State (ISIS) group.
Verification Details: The truth about the video was uncovered through diligent fact-checking. A response to the viral claim mentioned that the video was old and originated from Syria. Subsequent keyword searches led to reports by credible sources such as Hindustan Times, Al Arabia News, New York Post, Fox News, The Sun, and the Syrian Human Rights Committee. These reports, shared in December 2016, documented the ISIS video showing the burning alive of two Turkish soldiers.
The 19-minute video, allegedly filmed in the IS-declared “Aleppo Province” in northern Syria, was released by the Islamic State (ISIS) group. Despite the misleading claims circulating on social media, the video has no connection to Hamas or recent events involving Israeli soldiers.
Conclusion: The viral video falsely claimed to show Hamas burning alive two Israeli soldiers, but it is an old video from Syria depicting an ISIS attack on two Turkish soldiers in 2016.
