The Hadid family are back at what they do best: inciting against Israel. Mohamed Hadid, the real estate developer and father of supermodels Gigi and Bella, shared a photograph on Instagram on Wednesday that showed a Palestinian woman allegedly being pulled away from her son's grave by Israeli police officers before the site was to be demolished to make way for a theme park.

The photograph was a screenshot of a video originally posted on the Islamic Quotes and Muslim News Instagram page that showed a Palestinian mother crying over her son's grave seemingly being pulled away by someone who looks like a police officer.

The original post, which received over 145,000 likes, was captioned, "A Palestinian mother was forcibly removed from her son's grave because the Israeli oppressors want to build a theme park over the cemetery. They won't even allow the dead to rest." The video was most likely taken during construction works near a Muslim cemetery in Jerusalem.

Hadid, who has 1.3 million Instagram followers, accused Israel of "not respecting the dead." His post garnered thousands of anti-Israel comments and more than 42,900 likes.

"They don't respect the living. How do you expect them to respect the dead?" one user wrote. Others described the event as "vile," sickening" and "an absolute disgrace." Another outraged user wrote, "Allah is watching and he will avenge every innocent Palestinian affected one day be sure of it."

The Israel Nature and Parks Authority denied the allegations and said it did not conduct construction work within the cemetery itself. It further stressed that Israel was not building a theme park, but a national park that would "benefit the entire public, especially residents of the area."

It said works were being conducted to clear the area and build a fence between the public space where the construction is conducted and the cemetery itself.

"The work is not carried out in the cemetery area," it said. "There are a number of illegal graves onsite, despite a ban imposed by the court. Nevertheless, the works do not damage the graves, not even the illegal ones, and they will not be damaged in the future either."

It concluded by saying that the court allowed the construction to proceed immediately and all appeals against it had been rejected.
