A post from activist Palestinian journalist Bisan Owda made unsubstantiated claims calling an image of men captured by the Israeli military a “death queue,” renewing outrage around her Emmy win last month for a documentary on the Israel-Hamas war in Gaza.

Photos and video shared by Israel Defense Forces spokesperson Avichay Adraee indicated that the IDF and the Israeli Security Agency conducted an operation that led to the arrest of terrorists, shared alongside images and video. Owda alleged Saturday that the men were being lined up to be killed or taken hostage. She did not provide evidence for her speculation.

“As a well-documented member of the youth propaganda wing of the PFLP terrorist group, it is not surprising that she is spreading blood libels and disinformation, making these outrageous claims,” Ari Ingel, executive director of pro-Israel Jewish entertainment nonprofit Creative Community for Peace, told TheWrap.
