The above photograph is real but was not taken during the 2023-2024 Israel-Hamas crisis. It documents a 2016 protest in Israel in support of an Israeli soldier who was charged by the Israeli military with manslaughter in the death of a Palestinian man. As such, we rate the claim as "True," but with some missing context.

Since the underscore on what looks like a link doesn't work for me.
