Bella Hadid has been fact-checked after posting pictures taken in a refugee camp in Syria as she voiced support for Gaza and Palestinians.
On Monday, the supermodel, 27, shared an image of children in Yarmouk after an assault by dictator Bashar al-Assad during the Syrian civil war in 2013.
She captioned the Instagram post: 'Gaza on my mind.' After social media users began pointing out the photos were from in Syria, Instagram added a note saying the post was missing important context and could mislead people.
The note links to a web page that explains the images are from a refugee camp in Syria showing the victims of Assad's regime, not Israel.
Bella Hadid has once again been fact-checked after posting pictures of Syrian children as she voiced support for Gaza and Palestinians
Instagram added a note saying it was missing important context and could mislead people
The misleading post remains on Hadid's Instagram nearly a day after it was published and has been liked more than one million times
It reads: 'This post is misleading. This video was not filmed in Palestine. The video dates back 2013 from within the Yarmouk refugee camp in Damascus.'
The misleading post remains on Hadid's Instagram nearly a day after it was published and has been liked more than one million times.
The footage is part of a film called Little Palestine, Diary of a Siege, that shows the aftermath of Assad's siege in Yarmouk, what was then the largest Palestinian refugee camp in the world.
It's not the first time Los Angeles native, whose father was born in Palestine, shares images from Syria that are missing context.
Back in November, the millionaire posted the same images of children in Syria sharing their hopes and dreams amid war and claimed they were taken in Gaza during the ongoing conflict with Israel.
At the time, she wrote: 'Thousands of innocents Palestinian men women and CHILDREN imprisoned without trial.'
Syrian-Americans have been quick to call out the model over the misleading posts on the war.
'This is not the first time she's done this with these SAME IMAGES of children from Yarmouk,' wrote American Enterprise Institute media strategist Kareem Rifai.

Hadid's older sister Gigi apologized last November after claiming Israel 'is the only country in the world' keeping children as prisoners of war
Gigi Hadid also posted a reel to her Instagram story that claimed Israelis harvest the organs of dead Palestinians. The video was filmed by Malihai Henacho, a TikTok make-up artist from Cardiff who has been advocating for Palestinians since the beginning of the conflict. It was shared on an account run by a user called Umme_Murtazaa
'Completely unacceptable and irresponsible for a mega-celebrity with massive reach. Syrians are still being killed by Assad every day.'
Hadid's older sister Gigi apologized last November after claiming Israel 'is the only country in the world' keeping children as prisoners of war. To prove her point, she had shared an image of Palestinian Ahmad Manasra, who was 13 when he was arrested after stabbing a 20-year-old Israeli security guard and a 13-year-old boy in Jerusalem.
Just two days ago, Hadid's father, real estate mogul Mohamed Hadid was forced to apologize for a slew of hateful messages he sent to New York Congressman Ritchie Torres.
A report by the New York Post detailed how Hadid has spent the past few months targeting Torres online for the congressman's support for Israel following the October 7 Hamas attacks.
In texts to Torres, Hadid branded him 'worse than the rats of the New York sewage system'.

Torres, who is gay, was also told by the model's father that he 'might get a job as a bouncer in a gay bar', and that he should 'dress as KKK to hide that ugly gray colored face of yours.'
In the face of backlash to the messages being published, Hadid issued an apology for his language, but took the opportunity to throw a few more insults Torres' way.
He said that Torres is a 'shill' for Israel, 'a state that not only 'mistreats black and brown people but pinkwashes their atrocities using their projected gay rights as a shield for their human rights violations.'
'My feeling after 76 years of being a refugee from the country where I and my ancestors were born and watching a genocide unfold are at an all time high,' he continued.
'I am watching United States politicians work as AIPAC [American Israel Public Affairs Committee] messengers of genocide.
'I used the wrong words to express this anger but the anger is warranted. To send black and brown and other marginalized communities to do the dirty work of two countries who have never respected them is wrong.
'I apologize to my community for directing the conversation to this. And even for a minute away from Palestine. All eyes on Palestine. Free Palestine.'
Torres, who made history when in 2021 he was the first openly gay African American and openly gay Hispanic member of Congress, said he felt 'dehumanized' by the messages from Hadid.
Mohamed has also compared the method of the Nazi gas chambers to the bombing of Gaza, and Auschwitz to the Gaza Strip.
