A dance-off between an Israeli soldier and two Palestinian children went viral on TikTok after being posted on Tuesday.
The video entitled “The Israeli/Palestinian conflict in 2022” shows two Palestinian children in a field outside of Jenin dancing, and an IDF soldier returning the moves in the style of the characters from the popular Fortnite video game.

“At the beginning of June, we were reinforcing the Jenin area, and in the area of the [security] fence that separates between Israel and Judea and Samaria while I was at my post, we saw from a distance Arabs approaching the fence, seeing us looking back at them,” IDF reservist Yal Hadok, a 21-year-old Kfar Sabah resident who immigrated from France, told N12. “Suddenly, I turned back and saw two kids starting to dance behind me, so I danced back.”
Hadok uploaded the video in response to Operation Breaking Dawn, which ended in a ceasefire on Sunday.
“It’s important to show that we’re human beings and don’t hate each other. I don’t believe that the nations on both sides want war,” Hadok told N12.
