The Guardian Invents Israeli Airstrike on Gaza Rally

The photo caption claimed an air strike occurred during a rally on December 8th, but no Israeli strikes have occurred since November 21.

The Guardian published a post on Dec. 8 which contained 19 photos taken in Gaza on the day the Islamist terror group ‘celebrated’ their 25th anniversary: Khaled Meshaal attends Hamas anniversary rally in Gaza – in pictures.

Here’s one of the photos they included, taken by Reuters photographer Mohammed Salam.

Here’s the caption:

According to the caption, the building in the photo was destroyed by an Israeli strike during the Dec. 8 rally.

However, there have been no Israeli air strikes in Gaza since the ceasefire between Israel and Hamas went into effect on Nov. 21.

There have been a few violent border incidents and Gaza fishermen were arrested by the Israeli Navy on Nov. 28, but there have been no reports of airstrikes on Dec. 8, or on any day after the ceasefire - even on the website of Hamas.

Even the most minimal fact checking would have disproven the “witness” claim.

    I went to the Guardian website and last 3 words are not there; the caption is “Members of Hamas security forces stand guard during the rally on top of a building which witnesses said was destroyed in an Israeli air strike’
