Social media users widely relayed a rumour that a Gazan medical student was amongst 70 men arrested by the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) on December 14 near Kamal Adwan Hospital in Beit Lahya, in the north of the Gaza Strip. The student in question, Nasr Imad Al-Madhoun, finally spoke out, saying that he wasn’t one of the people in the photos published by the IDF. Our team spoke to Al-Madhoun, who said people should be careful to “verify information” before sharing it because “sharing fake information doesn’t help our cause at all.”
