FIGHT DISINFORMATION: Comprehensive ongoing list of the most prevalent viral imagery of Syria falsely attributed to the Israel-Gaza war.
This image is of child victims of the Assad regime's gas attack against Eastern Ghouta a decade ago, not Israeli or Gazan victims of war.
This is a video of children in the Assad-besieged Yarmouk, Syria from a Syrian documentary called "Little Palestine" from nearly a decade ago.
Though these children are mostly of Palestinian descent, this is Syria, not Gaza.
This viral image is from the ruins of the Omari Mosque in Daraa, Syria from a decade ago. The mosque was attacked by Assad regime forces.
This is not a mosque in Gaza.
This video (very distressing) is of a Syria Civil Defenseman saving a baby in the aftermath of this year's earthquake in northern Syria.
This is in Aleppo Governorate, not the result of missile strikes in Gaza.
This is a video of a Syrian child whose relatives died in the Assad regime's siege of Aleppo a decade ago.
This is not a video from Gaza and is nearly 10 years old.
This is a video from early this week of the Assad regime indiscriminately using Russian-provided heavy artillery on the town of Ariha in northern Syria.
This is not imagery from Gaza nor Israel.
This is a video from 2016 of Assad regime soldiers in Aleppo being targeted by Syrian resistance fighters.
This is not a recent video of Israeli soldiers being attacked by Hamas, and vice versa.

Incredibly bizarre: Tulsi told Sen. Capito that her infamous 2017 trip to visit Assad in Damascus was actually scheduled for Lebanon, but she ended up in Syria by accident.
Sen. Kelly calls BS here and then politely eviscerates Tulsi for obviously lying.
To be clear, the idea that Tulsi's Syria Nazi Party-sponsored trip was supposed to go to Lebanon and not Syria is the most ridiculous and transparent lie she's spewed yet.
From my recent piece on her connections to the Assad regime:
Tulsi privately making this claim to senators is bold. Her bizarre relationship with Assad and his supporters is clear and well-documented.
If "I was supposed to go to Lebanon" is the best excuse she can conjure up, it spells trouble for her. thehill.com/opinion/white-…
To the international leaders sincerely congratulating the Syrian people, thank you.
But it's not over: Syrians want to vote for their own leaders and live equally under the law.
Your role is to facilitate as needed and stop regional actors from abusing Syrians further.
Don't condemn the future of Syria before doing anything to safeguard the Syrian desire for a democratic transition.
Things are going to be messy after the fall of a half a century of tyranny.
Don't abandon Syrians now.
Speaking directly to the European leaders who previously sought to normalize with Assad:
If you do nothing or sabotage efforts to promote safety and stability in Syria now, you are barring refugees in your countries from making voluntary returns.
In 2015, Tulsi directed a tweet at her now fellow cabinet nominee Marco Rubio, encouraging him to support Russia's intervention in Syria, amid a joint Assad-Russia hospital bombing campaign.
