Accounts on X published a video clip showing a child carrying an RPG shoulder launcher, claiming that the child is from the Gaza Strip. The video was accompanied by the following text: “This is how Hamas is destroying the future of Gaza’s children: Children all over the world learn math, ride bikes and play football, while children in Gaza learn to launch rockets.”

The International Business Times published a video clip on 8/2/2014, explaining that it shows a Libyan child launching a rocket-propelled grenade at a Libyan beach.
