Below is the viral post in circulation on Social Media like WhatsApp, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, etc.
The message reads as, “The most heart touching the picture, A kid protects his sister during firing in Kashmir”
Facts Check: False

The image was shared by dailyasianage on 21st June, 2016. The news content given on the website was, A heartbreaking photo of a Syrian child protecting his little sister has surfaced, reminding us once more of the innocence being destroyed in this civil war."A child trying to protect his younger sister from bombing in #Syria.#stop conflict & bloodshed #save humanity."”
