“Rivers of Blood in Paris” Olympic Threat Video Russian Agencies Suspected
‘Hamas Threatening Video’ Spreads on SNS Hamas Denies
A video threatening to attack Paris during the 2024 Paris Olympics is spreading on social networks, and it is assessed that there is a high possibility that it is a fake video from Russia.
On the 24th (local time), NBC and others reported that the threatening video, known to have been produced by the Palestinian armed group Hamas, appears to have been produced by Russia.
A video about a minute long, previously known to have been produced by Hamas, was spread on X (formerly Twitter), Telegram, etc.
In the video, a man wearing what appears to be a black bulletproof vest and covering his face with a kaffiyeh (a head covering used in Arab countries) threatens French people and French President Emmanuel Macron, saying, “You invited the Zionists to the Olympics,” and “There will be rivers of blood in the streets of Paris.” The man
also warns, “You supported the Zionist regime in its criminal war against the Palestinian people, providing them with weapons and helping to kill our brothers, sisters, and children,” and “You will pay for what you have done.”
NBC asked Microsoft (MS) to analyze the video, and a Russian group called “Storm-1516” was identified as the perpetrator of the video.
The Microsoft Threat Analysis Center explained that the notorious Storm-1516 appears to be behind the video. The group claims to be Hamas and has created fake videos. Hamas also claimed via Telegram that the video was fake. 카지노사이트
