Pages on social media circulated a video clip whose publishers claimed it was recent and documented sectarian chants by General Security personnel during the 63rd session of the Damascus International Fair.
The Kashaf team verified the claim by tracing the source of the clip and through reverse search, and it was noted that one of those who published it indicated that it is an old recording dating back about a year. The clip was filmed in the town of al-Quriya in the Deir ez-Zor countryside during the coastal events, and not at the Damascus International Fair.
Why is this claim misleading?
Out of temporal and spatial context: The content was republished outside its temporal and spatial context, as a clip filmed in the town of al-Quriya in the Deir ez-Zor countryside during the coastal events was circulated as recent and linked to the 63rd session of the Damascus International Fair.
