The child in this video is real and not a “doll” as claimed

Hebrew and Western X accounts published video clips showing a man and woman holding a child wrapped in a funeral shroud, and attach it with a claim saying that Palestinian supporters of Hamas carrying a plastic doll while they lie about it being a real child killed in an airstrike, announcing their scepticism as they pose the leading question of why there is a need to use toy dolls if more than 6,000 children have been killed in Gaza.

The Palestinian observatory “Tahaqaq” questioned the validity of the claim. Through our research of public sources and connected with the videographer in Gaza، the photojournalist Attiya Darwish, who confirmed that whoever appears in the video isn’t a doll as they claims, but rather the 5-month-old Palestinian child Muhammad Hani Muhammad Al-Zahar, who died from his injuries as a result of a bombing that targeted the village of Al-Mughraqa. In the southern Gaza Strip, this afternoon, Friday, December 1st; That is, on the first day of the resumption of the war after the humanitarian truce that lasted for a week in the Gaza Strip.

Darwish pointed out that the video was documented in the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital and those who appeared in the video carrying the child were his mother and grandfather and confirmed that the rest of the child’s family are alive as of now.

Accordingly, we confirmed that the claims of the Occupation and Western social media accounts are deceitful. The video shows a real child undergoing rigour mortis and not a doll. Tahaqaq notes that since October 7th, it has debunked several Israeli allegations questioning the validity of Palestinian victims.

Over 6,000 Palestinian children have been martyred since October 7th after the assault launched by Israel on the Gaza Strip which remains ongoing at the time of writing.
