A video of an intubated man on a hospital bed is viral on social media amid the ongoing Israel-Hamas war<\/a>. Several users claim that the man is an actor playing a Palestinian victim. Israel’s official X (formerly Twitter) handle shared the aforementioned video on October 26 in a thread. The first tweet of the thread consisted of a video of a man walking down the streets of Gaza, singing and celebrating Hamas’ strike on Israel. It was shared with the following caption:<\/p>\n

“\ud83e\uddf5Fake news alert<\/p>\n

The devil works hard but Gaza’s film industry works harder. Meet Saleh, terrorism supporter, singer and “actor”. You may have seen Saleh a lot recently because he has miraculously been EVERYWHERE. \ud83d\udcfd\ufe0fSaleh celebrating Hamas rocket launches at Israel.”<\/p>\n

The next tweet in the thread carried the viral video of the ‘patient’. It had the following caption:<\/p>\n

“Here’s another video of this star on his deathbed a couple days later after an alleged air strike. Notice anything strange about the machines behind him? MOST OF THE MACHINES ARE DISCONNECTED AND THE ONES WHICH ARE HAVE FAKE STATS.” (Archive 1<\/a>, 2<\/a>)<\/p>\n

The thread was subsequently deleted.<\/p>\n
