The Israeli military says a video circulating Monday appearing to show soldiers celebrating after shooting a Palestinian near the Gaza border was likely not recorded during recent clashes.

“The event depicted apparently occurred a number of months ago. The incident is being reviewed and will be thoroughly investigated,” the Israel Defense Forces said.

The video has been shared widely on the WhatsApp messaging application and featured prominently in the main news broadcasts this evening.
