At this point it’s just a rumor. We pray it is not true.
We’ll update this thread if and when we find out more.
Update:
More Hamas propaganda? A handful of Twitter users say this rumor is absolutely false.
Video being circulated claiming to show Israeli F-16 shot down by Hamas is in fact from Libya. #Verification #DailyDebunk—

Apparently the prior reports of #Hamas shooting down an #Israeli F-16 are false. The pictures were from #Libya intervention a year ago.—

News of #Gaza hitting an Israeli F-16 is a fake and is actually a Libyan MIG from 2009 http://t.co/hEGy21DM #hamaspropaganda #ukforisrael—
