A photo circulating around Facebook that purports to show an IDF soldier aiming his rifle at the neck of a Palestinian youth is apparently staged, Israeli Channel 2 news reported on Sunday.

It turns out that both the “Israeli soldier” and the “Palestinian youth” are actors, and a follow up-picture has been circulating around in Israel: of the two actors, who staged the initial photo, standing together for a selfie shortly after the initial photo.

Roi Rahmani, the websurfer who posted the photo and its explanation on Facebook explained that, “the photo was taken by actors, and their goal was to present the soldiers of the IDF in a negative light.”

He added that, “if you go through the site a little, and do a little bit more effort, you’ll find the photo posted below that proves what I’m saying, that these two are actors, and as proof: the ‘threatened’ child and the ‘threatening’ soldier are taking an incriminating selfie [together].”
