A mother was filmed in Gaza on December 1, holding the body of her dead son in her arms after he was killed in the latest wave of Israeli bombardments. However, once the footage was uploaded online, several people and a prominent Israeli paper claimed that the dead infant was just a doll. They were wrong – we learned details about the child’s identity and spoke to forensic specialists who confirmed the images did show the remains of a human infant. This is part of a trend among pro-Israeli users to claim that images from Gaza have been staged.
