“Digital processing product”, is the very expensive Birkin 40 Black Togo Gold Hardware bag, allegedly in the hands of the wife of the now deceased Yahya Sinouar in a video that saw the light of day, while the family together with their children tried to escape the Israelites, through Hamas’ underground tunnels in Gaza, the day before the October 7 massacre.
However, Greek Hoaxes denies that Abu Zamar’s bag was the Hermes bag worth $32,000.
“Something like this does not correspond to reality”, reports Greek Hoaxes, which tries to show the differences.
It specifically states:
“Initially, it is noted that Birkin bags always have a lock and clasp feature, which in the image of the original product are clearly visible and stand out due to their color. From the woman’s photo, we can’t clearly see any material that suggests this is a real Birkin. If it were, the material of the lock and clasp would shine through in the photo, but instead the video clearly shows two double vertical metal snaps at the top of the bag where the straps join the main body of the bag, which is absent from the original Birkin. .

Birkin bags are known for their rectangular, structured shape. Sinwar’s wife’s bag appears smaller and less rigid, with a less prominent rectangular frame. The proportions of the bag feel more casual and it doesn’t have that formal, angular silhouette that a Birkin has.
Finally, the Birkin in the photo is made from Togo leather, which has a luxurious, grainy texture, a shine-free surface and a high-quality finish. In contrast, the bag in Sinouar’s wife’s hands has a noticeably smoother, shinier surface, which is common in cheaper, non-luxury bags or faux leather items, meaning it doesn’t have the distinct grain of a Birkin. true.
But even if the bag looked a lot like the $32,000 mark, we still couldn’t be sure it was real, since these bags are easily counterfeited and fakes are extremely common.
The photo of the shelter
Following the above, another photo circulated on social media, which allegedly depicts a collection of Hermés bags belonging to Sinouar’s wife in the underground tunnel used as a shelter.
But an authentic photo is found, among others, in an article in Israel’s Jerusalem Post, with the description: A photo of the tunnel where Yahya Shinuar lived in the Tel Sultan area and was found by the Israel Defense Forces and the Shin Bet, October 19, 2024.
