Emerging story
Social media users and pages have shared a video purportedly showing Israeli soldiers humiliating a blindfolded Palestinian in a military vehicle by forcing him to say "Peace" violently.
According to the users, the video was allegedly shot during ongoing Israeli attacks on Palestinian Bedouins in al-Naqab areas.
Misbar’s Analysis
Misbar has investigated the claim and found it misleading.
Social media users added the video using the hashtag #savealnaqab, claiming that the video is from the ongoing attacks on Palestinian people in al-Naqab areas.
Using keywords like "Israeli soldiers," "humiliating," and "military jeep" in the Facebook Watch Search, our team discovered that the video had already been shared on social media on March 12, 2019.
The video turned out to be outdated and had nothing to do with Israeli attacks on Palestinian Bedouins in the al-Naqab area.
Description: The clip was posted on Facebook in 2019.
Israeli forces have attacked many Palestinian Bedouins during a protest against the Israeli forestation works on land they own in al-Naqab.
Israeli forces arrested more than 130 Palestinians in Saawa village, named after a prominent clan in al-Naqab with 3,866 inhabitants.
According to Al Jazeera, the Israeli forces attacked some 500 protesters and fired rubber-coated bullets, tear gas, stun grenades, and skunk water.
