A clip from the filming of a Palestinian movie is circulating online with the false claim that it shows Israelis or Palestinians creating fake footage of deaths amid this week’s conflict. The clip shows a camera crew filming an actor who is lying on his back with liquid that seems like blood beside his head. !”Claims that the clip shows Israelis or Palestinians faking death footage are false, however. The clip shows the filming of “Empty Place,” director Awni Eshtaiwe told Reuters in April 2022. The video shows filming from a Palestinian film and does not show Israelis or Palestinians faking death footage.
