The claim
"Islamistische Dschihadisten kreuzigen Christen in Syrien, während der Vatikan und bestimmte Kardinäle Ramadan feiern"
Original review summary
DW says the image is a screenshot from an older video, unrelated to the current events in Syria, and that a reverse-image search showed the video dates back to at least 2017. The review could not determine where the footage was filmed, so it does not establish that Christians were crucified in Syria as claimed. [S1][S1]
Additional context
The review says most civilians killed in the recent violence belonged to Syria’s Alawite religious minority. [S1] [S1]
