A disturbing video of mass execution is being widely shared on social media. The caption associated with the video claims that Non-Muslims were executed in Syria during Ramazan since they did not fast.
The video is being shared with a caption: “This is in Islamic Nation Syria..where those who have been shot dead are the Kafirs who didn’t observe the fast during the Ramzan festival….A mass grave has been dugged and all those who didn’t fast were blind folded and shot dead and burrows in the mass grave…This is the idea of Islam and Sharia….No freedom to speak and live as you wish…but in India the things are reverse….Here Islamic Jihadis kills Hindus just for silly reasons and rape and murder their women….”

FACT CHECK
NewsMobile did a fact-check and found the claim to be misleading.
On doing a Google Reverse Image Search with one of the screenshots, we found the same screenshot was published by The Guardian on April 27, 2022. The report suggested that at least 41 men were found dead in a mass grave in the Damascus suburb of Tadamon, a battlefront at the time of the conflict between the Syrian leader and insurrectionists lined up against him. The report also said that the video was date-stamped on April 16, 2013.
We found the same video was also uploaded by Anadolu Agency with a caption that read, “New footage shows Assad regime executing dozens of civilians in Syria At least 41 civilians were executed by Bashar al-Assad regime forces in 2013 in Tadamon, near Damascus, according to an investigation by The Guardian.”
Hence we can ascertain that the viral video is being shared with a misleading claim.
