Kashif verified the claim by looking into the video clip published by\u00a0Abdullah Abu Sabra<\/a>\u00a0and found that he did not mention that the light was from an Israeli sniper, but rather published it with the phrase: \u201cLaser with laughter.\u201d Journalists were sarcastically saying: \u201cWhen you write in your CV that you can work under pressure.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n
