Fact Check- 

We started our investigation by running a reverse image search on one of the key frames from the video. The results led us to a report by the Dubai-based newspaper Alroeya published on 24 March 2020. It states that a group of youths in Jordan staged a fake funeral to get around the country’s Covid-19 restrictions.

In further search we found Jordan-based newspaper, Roya News English also shared the same video on Facebook on 23March, 2020. The caption states, “Fake funeral! People still breaching the law despite the warnings”, which confirmed that the viral video is not related to the ongoing Hamas- Israel conflict.
