On Thursday, the Izzadin Kassam tweeted a photograph of a weeping father with his dead, bloody child in his arms, while doctors look on.
Soon after, Twitter followers pointed out that the photo was taken at the Dar al-Shifa Hospital in Aleppo, Syria, and originally came from a slideshow on The Guardian website.
On Saturday, pro-Palestinian activists co-opted another photograph, this time of an injured infant held by a rescue worker.
A Twitter user named ProSyriana wrote “even this young injured Palestinian child doesn’t seem surprised or scared, used to Israeli terrorism.”
However, Facebook and Twitter users identified the photo as one previously posted by Avital Leibovitch, the IDF spokeswoman to the international media, of a baby wounded by a Hamas rocket attack.
