After the Hamas militant group that controls Palestinian areas provoked the Palestinian-Israeli military conflict, it was hit by intense Israeli air strikes in response. In an effort to gain international sympathy, Hamas has promoted the idea that the Israeli bombing has resulted in a large number of civilian and child casualties. However, several clips recently surfaced on Twitter show that Palestinians are suspected to be organizing themselves to create “wounded civilians” through make-up.
On Monday (17), Twitter user @wLKTZ6UgTpLDdAQ uploaded a video clip that has attracted a lot of attention and retweets.
In the video clip, a group of young men and women in an open field are busy putting makeup on some older men, women and girls. In addition to smearing the face and body with a liquid that looks like blood, they are also carefully painting their faces with ochre eyes and burned cheeks or drawing wounds on their legs that look like they have been cut by shrapnel from an explosion, and there are even several scary molds on the ground that look like human limbs. A long, simple table was filled with a variety of paints and makeup supplies.
The Twitter user who uploaded the video posted a mocking comment, ” Palestinian mass actors are busy! “The user also questioned who they learned this from, as this routine is all too familiar.
Chinese netizens who watched the video commented on it, with some laughing and saying, “It’s not working again,” others sarcastically saying, “It’s creative,” and others pointing out, “I learned it from my big brother in Communist China.
(Screenshot of Twitter page)The current Israeli-Palestinian military conflict has lasted for more than a week, with Hamas firing thousands of rockets aimlessly at Israeli cities, but most of them were intercepted by the Israeli “Iron Dome” defense system and exploded in mid-air, while only a few missed the target and exploded in Israeli cities, causing civilian casualties.
On the other hand, the Israeli military responded strongly to the Hamas organization. The high-intensity air strikes first destroyed the massive underground tunnels built by Hamas in Palestine, and then precisely bombed the buildings housing the Hamas organization’s military facilities or institutions concealed between civilian homes, and even the top Hamas commander in Gaza was successfully killed by Israeli forces.
Faced with the high intensity and precision of the Israeli strikes, Hamas was unable to resist, and in an attempt to gain the sympathy of the international community, it released a number of short videos of “civilian casualties” that were indistinguishable from the real ones, and even organized some people to “carry the bodies in procession” to propagate public opinion.
However, another clip circulated on Twitter shows a group of people “marching with bodies” in the street when an air raid siren goes off and the crowd of “bodies” immediately drops their stretchers and runs away. A few moments later, the “corpse” on the stretcher also can not act, suddenly lift the white cloth to get up, also hurriedly fled …… funny scene let a lot of people who have seen this video burst out laughing.

On Friday, the IDF Twitter account posted a video showing a rocket fired by Hamas into Israel that landed in Gaza and exploded due to a failed launch. The Israeli army also posted that “Hamas has failed to fire a total of 350 rockets over the past three days, which have killed innocent civilians in Gaza,” and further called on the international community to hold Hamas accountable.
An Israeli military release on the 13th said that since the outbreak of military clashes between Israel and Palestine on the evening of the 10th, the terrorist organization in Gaza has fired some 1,750 rockets and mortar shells at Israel; in response, Israeli forces have bombed more than 600 targets in the Gaza Strip that are linked to the Hamas organization.
