WATCH Hamas shenanigans smashed: Teen 'terrorist' freed by Israel wears false cast on hands, caught lying on camera

Hamas’ anti-Israel propaganda was left in tatters after a video was released on social media which busted the claims of one Mohammed Nazzal, 16 and from Jenin serving jail sentence on terror charges, who upon his release in the prisoner exchange with Israel was presented as an example of Israel’s brutality against Palestinians.

Nazzal posed with both hands in cast, claiming that Israel guards in the Ofer prison had smashed him with hammers. The image of a teen ostensibly brutalised by Israel was brandished across a section of the international media. The teenager also claimed that he was left without any medical help for eight days, when some helped him drink and eat.

While it evoked some sympathy to begin with, Nazzal’s video from just before the prisoner-hostage swap shows both his arms quite intact. While getting on a Red Cross bus that would take them for the swap, Nazzal is seen using his hands to grab the guardrails of the bus. Just before that, approaching the bus, Nazzal throwing his hands inside his pyjama pockets without a care in the world.

Nazzal was arrested three months ago in Kabatiye, affiliated with Jenin in the West Bank, and placed under “administrative detention” for six months.
