Palestinian children locked in cages? Warning, these are old images

More than 8,000 Palestinian children have been killed since the beginning of Israel’s offensive in Gaza on October 7. Many of these children have been killed in air strikes. However, rumours that Israeli soldiers have been physically abusing Palestinian children, sometimes detaining them in cages, have also been circulating on social media for the past two weeks. In mid-December, a photo and video began circulating on X, with users claiming that they offered proof that Israeli soldiers were imprisoning Palestinian children in cages. However, the photos that accompanied these claims are old and were taken out of context.
