In the ongoing conflict along the Mediterranean coastline, the world now witnesses the start of the third week of intense hostilities. Following a fortnight of relentless aerial bombardments, the Israeli military has initiated a ground incursion into the Gaza Strip. Their primary objective: to root out and neutralize the Hamas militants who have sought refuge in underground bunkers.
Simultaneously, in the realm of social media, Hamas sympathizers are employing a range of digitally manipulated images and videos featuring Palestinians. Their aim is to elicit global sympathy and exert pressure on Israel to halt the ongoing conflict. One such instance that recently surfaced is an image portraying a father carrying five children on his shoulders through the wreckage left in the wake of the devastating war.
Jackson Hinkle, an American with pro-Russian sympathies, a Christian who associates with terrorists, and a frequent promoter of false information wrote, “ISRAELI army signals IMMINENT OPERATION in Northern Gaza, urges residents to “evacuate” despite the fact they have NOWHERE TO GO!”
Radical Islamist Zaid Alsalman tweeted, “A picture is worth a thousand words.”
Pakistani Huma Zehra wrote on X, “Being a father in Gaza is like this.”
The Arab world wrote, “ A picture is worth a thousand words. Palestine.”
X handle named Poetry wrote, “There are no words worthy of this pain! Unfortunately.”

Our investigative process commenced with a meticulous scrutiny of the viral image in question. Delving deep into our examination, we unveiled a series of discrepancies that strongly suggested the handiwork of Artificial Intelligence in its creation. Presented below, we have encircled these irregularities within the viral photograph, inviting you to look at the evidence.
Nonetheless, our commitment to factual accuracy did not culminate at this juncture. We extended our scrutiny to include the verification of the viral image through AI-driven online platforms. One such platform, “Content Scale,” offered a verdict, supported by a confidence level of 93 percent, asserting the probable AI origin of the viral image. Simultaneously, another platform, known as “Hive Moderator” furnished even more compelling evidence unequivocally determining that the viral image of a Palestinian father is more than 99 percent AI-generated.
Furthermore, an additional online resource, known as “IS IT AI,” also offered a verdict, supported by a confidence level exceeding 66 percent certainty rating, that viral image is AI made.
Hence, through a meticulous analysis of the aforementioned viral image, conducted both by the naked eye and by employing two distinct online platforms, we have reached a definitive conclusion. The image featuring the Palestinian father is unequivocally fake, a product of artificial intelligence engineered to garner support for Hamas militants.
The sympathizers of Hamas are disseminating these fabricated images of children as part of their efforts to bolster the activities of Hamas in their ongoing campaign of terrorism. It is undeniable that innocent civilians have tragically often found themselves caught in the crossfire during times of conflict. However, the situation in Gaza presents a different story. The civilians of Gaza have regrettably been strategically exploited as human shields by their own homegrown terrorist organization.
