As the Israeli-Palestinian conflict continues to escalate, various news, photos, and videos of violence are being shared on social media.

Factseeker has observed that a video of Hamas militants, allegedly released recently, is currently circulating on Facebook and Twitter.

“Thank you, Iran, for giving us weapons, money, and other equipment. They supplied us with missiles to destroy Zionist strongholds and helped with various operations. It looks like Joe Biden’s $6 billion to Iran was well spent.”

Factseeker investigated the authenticity of the video, which allegedly contains a Hamas statement.

This video has been circulating on social media for several years. Factseeker was able to observe that the same video was shared on social media, especially in 2017 and 2018, after Google reversed this video.
