On X (formerly Twitter), the state of Israel&#8217;s official handle shared a video and a photo of the said &#8216;doll&#8217;. The video is a compilation of two clips set to background music. The first clip shows a child being rushed to a hospital and the second clip shows what appears to be a lifeless child shrouded in white cloth. In the picture, the face of the child has been circled. The caption reads, &#8220;Hamas accidentally posted a video of a doll (yes a doll) suggesting that it was a part of casualties caused by an IDF attack&#8221;.
