Israeli-linked accounts circulated video from the production set of a Palestinian dramatic work and promoted it as documentation of fabricated scenes depicting arrest and mistreatment of Palestinians by occupation soldiers, Shehab Wire reported. The footage shows people in military uniforms, according to the accounts' claims.
The campaign appears designed to cast doubt on Palestinian media output by falsely characterizing production materials as evidence of staged documentation rather than fictional drama. The actors and crew were filmed during behind-the-scenes work on the television production when the material was extracted and reframed by the Israeli accounts to suggest the scenes constituted fabricated evidence of abuse.
