  • A video showing uniformed and armed men taking away a boy and a man is being shared on social media platforms. What is the claim?: Users have written that it shows a Palestinian father and child being taken away by Israeli forces. This post recorded three million views at the time of writing this story. (Archives of similar claims can be found here and here.) Is it true?: This claim is false. The video dates back to 2015 and shows Israeli forces arresting the head of board members of the Palestinian Popular Struggle Coordination Committee (PSCC) and activist Munther Amira and a 6-year-old child, Abdallah Lutfi Yousef from Aida refugee camp in Bethlehem. How did we find out?: We divided the viral video into several keyframes and ran a Google reverse image search on some. We found the same video on a Facebook page named Popular Struggle Coordination Committee, which was uploaded on 17 November 2015. The PSCC is a grassroots formation community-based resistance group spreading Palestine's cause in a non-violent manner. It was uploaded with a caption that read: "Israeli occupation forces arrest of activist, and head of board members, of the Palestinian Popular Struggle Coordination Committee, Munther Amira, and 6-year-old child, Abdallah Lutfi Yousef from Aida refugee camp." Taking a cue from this, we ran a relevant keyword search and found news reports by RT and PNN Network that also dated back to 2015. RT reported on 18 November 2015 that the video was uploaded by the PSCC showed Israeli forces at the Aida refugee camp, near the West Bank city of Bethlehem, forcefully detaining two people, including a small boy. Similarly PNN's story from 17 November 2015 noted that the child was released after an hour due to the pressure from the "Palestine's military liason and Amira was transferred to an unknown place." Conclusion: Clearly the viral claim is false. The video is old from 2015 and shows an activist and child being taken away by Israeli forces unlike a father and son as claimed.
