As graphic images from Gaza flood social media platforms, many people are claiming those images are fake, in the latest iteration of a disturbing trope.
The announcement from the Islamist militant group came after a third hostages-for-prisoners swap with Israel in which 17 captives and 39 Palestinian prisoners were released.
The Islamist militia group yesterday put the hostages-for-prisoners swap on hold for several hours, alleging that Israel had violated the terms of a four-day truce.
On the second day of the temporary cease-fire, it is not yet clear how many captives Hamas will release nor the number of Palestinians Israel will free.
