#BoycottZara began trending on X (formerly Twitter) yesterday as social media users criticised the images. There were claims that coffins, phosphorus powder and the map of Israel were also depicted.
Zara has not issued a comment at the time of writing.
The incident has echoes of the backlash against Marks & Spencer after the UK retailer posted an image of burning Christmas party hats in colours resembling the Palestinian flag. M&S apologised for "any unintentional hurt caused".
