Claim: Israel severed the arms of Mohammad Mahroof, a Hamas militant from Gaza accused of killing Israeli children in 2023, but left him alive.
Fact-check: Photo of 15-year-old Diaa Al-Adini, injured in an August 2024 Israeli strike is shared with a false claim of him being a Hamas militant - FACTLY
Verdict: the viral image is not of a hamas militant mohammad mahroof but of 15-year-old palestinian diaa al-adini. diaa al-adini was severely wounded in an israeli army attack on 13 august 2024, that targeted an apartment in gaza's al-qastal towers. due to medical shortages, doctors had to amputate limbs to save lives. hence, the claim made in the post is false.
