Did Palestinian militants or Hamas recently stage a fake funeral for propaganda purposes?

A video of a fake funeral resurfaced on social media with new captioning in early May 2021 when conflict between Israel and Gaza was intensifying. The 2021 post implied the video was by "Palestinian radicals."

In fact, the fake funeral depicted in this staged video was intended to be a humorous skit to demonstrate an inventive way to get around strict coronavirus curfews. Although the precise location of this video is not known, it was labeled as being in Lebanon when it was first circulated in March 2020, as the world began dealing with the COVID-19 pandemic.

A curfew was put into effect in Jordan on March 21, 2020, as a preemptive pandemic measure. Two days later, on March 23, 2020, Roya News English, a publication from Amman, Jordan, posted the video of the fake mourners to its Facebook page.
