A Gaza-based news outlet tied to Hamas found itself the butt of global mockery recently after it tried to spotlight a humanitarian mission — and instead highlighted its inability to tell fiction from reality.

The Palestinian Information Center, an advocacy arm linked to Gaza’s terrorist rulers, posted a breathless update about a heroic “French doctor” arriving in Gaza to treat wounded Palestinians. The catch? The “doctor” was none other than an actress, Katherine Heigl, better known as Dr. Izzie Stevens from Grey’s Anatomy — a fictional TV show.

“A French Doctor arrives in the Gaza Strip to offer medical help to the wounded Palestinian protesters,” read the now-deleted Facebook post, which included a glossy promo shot of Heigl looking very much like she was about to diagnose a dramatic plot twist rather than perform battlefield surgery.

The post, broadcast to the Center’s 500,000 Facebook followers, was swiftly deletedafter social media erupted in laughter and ridicule.
