Emerging story
A picture depicts a girl confronting a soldier is widely circulating online.
Misbar’s Analysis
MENA: Misbar's investigation found the circulating image misleading. The girl is not from Palestine but Chile. It was taken in 1973 in the capital Santiago during protests against the military coup that overthrew the rule of President-elect Salvador Allende and led to a military rule that lasted 17 years.
The spread of this image tallies with the continued uprising of the Palestinians against the Israeli occupation.
