Accounts on X platform posted a behind-the-scenes video from a filming location, showing a child, smoke, and a fake explosion. The accounts claimed that the video was a Palestinian-produced propaganda video, and as a proof that they were faking footage from the Gaza Strip.
Kashif verified the video clip via the Invid tool and found the claim to be misleading. The video is actually a behind-the-scenes photoshoot for solidarity with the children of Gaza, not a Palestinian propaganda effort.
Saudi artist Fawaz Al Zahrani posted the viral video on his Instagram account on 23 July 2025, pointing to the children of Gaza who are suffering from both bombing and hunger. He also posted photos of the little girl who appears in the video on 24 July 2025.
Al-Zahrani also posted behind-the-scenes footage of another solidarity action on 1 September 2025, which he explained was dedicated to journalists in the Gaza Strip.
According to an update from the Palestinian Ministry of Health in Gaza on 6 September 2025, the total number of malnutrition deaths in the Strip has risen to 382, including 135 children.
