The photo of the bloodied boy was splashed across publications that reported the skirmishes in Syria to highlight the plight of innocent civilians at the height of the war in 2016.
Prayer for Omran 3 years Later
Aside from the fact that the published "prayer" had come three years after Omran's ordeal, the post also strangely referred to the boy as a "one-year-old" while he was actually five when the incident happened on August 17, 2016.
The published "obituary" also appeared to be a screen shot taken from a smart phone as it bore the time at the top right corner along with the battery charge and network strength icons.
