total victory\u2019.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Two of the images showed a shark wearing a green Hamas bandana or keffiyeh with the caption \u2018the warrior in the Abu-shark force\u2019, with the predator also being dubbed the \u2018al-Qassam shark\u2019 in reference to Hamas\u2019 al-Qassam brigade.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">A third was a fake picture\u00a0of former IDF

injuries\u2019.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">The posts caused fury in Israel, with local media saying the savage shark attack on Monday was used to incite \u2018anti-Semitic
