Reputable media outlet Daily Mail published news about the viral video on 20 February 2020 and wrote the headline, "Little girl laughs when bombs fall as Syrian father teaches her a game to cope with the shelling in heart-wrenching video"
According to the news, "A father living in bomb-ravaged western Syria has taught his three-year-old daughter to laugh when she hears a bomb fall. Syrian Abdullah Al-Mohammad, 32, lives in Sarmada, a province of the city of Idlib, with his daughter, Salwa, and wife. In a post on Twitter, the father demonstrated the game which he has devised to protect his daughter from the 'psychological crisis' caused by near-constant explosions."
Conclusion- Spokesman in its investigation found the viral post to be misleading. This viral video is an old video from Syria and has nothing to do with the recent Israeli-Palestinian war.
