Thread: Israel-Hamas war misinformation - Day 38
This video's been viewed millions of times with claims it shows a hospitalised Palestinian man tell his mother he's faking injuries for cameras.
The man isn't faking. The video was posted on Instagram by journalist Mohmmed Awad.
The full video shows the man with a visibly injured head and face brought to the hospital by an ambulance, with the same woman watching with concern while being consoled by others.
The man and his friends then tell the woman not to worry as he's okay despite his injuries.
While the WHO says the situation at Gaza's Al-Shifa hospital is "dire", the claim that all ICU patients there have died is false.
According to the hospital's director, the situation there is "catastrophic", and so far two ICU patients have died, "but not everyone".
This image has been widely shared online with claims it shows a leaflet dropped by the IDF in southern Lebanon warning residents to evacuate ahead of imminent air strikes there.
The claim is false. The IDF has denied dropping any such leaflets in southern Lebanon.
