In questi giorni è diventato virale un post in cui si afferma che i terroristi di Hamas hanno squarciato lo stomaco di una donna israeliana incinta, portandole via il suo bambino non ancora nato. Successivamente, i militari hanno ucciso entrambi. Questo video, condiviso da Aditya Rajkaul, redattore esecutivo di TV9 Network, ha 40 anni e, secondo quanto raccolto da Fact-Check, non risalirebbe al conflitto attuale tra israeliani e palestinesi, bensì al massacro di Sabra e Shatila in Libano del 1982 che costò la vita a 3.500 civili. Il massacro, infatti, fu l'eccidio, compiuto dalle Falangi libanesi, alleate di Israele, e dall’Esercito del Libano del Sud, con la complicità dell'esercito israeliano, di un numero di civili compreso fra 762 e 3.500, prevalentemente palestinesi e sciiti libanesi. La strage avvenne durante il ritiro dell'esercito israeliano, fra le 6 del mattino del 16 e le 8 del mattino del 18 settembre 1982 nel quartiere di Sabra e nel campo profughi di Shatila, entrambi posti alla periferia ovest di Beirut.
