<p style="font-weight: 400;">The misinformation published on social media sites about Israel is now being destroyed by fact-checkers all across the internet.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">After an image possibly fomented by Iran of a downed Israeli fighter jet went viral, and other fake images were purveyed that also targeted Israel, a website devoted to defending Israel from the myriad falsehoods spread about it by antisemites demolished the narrative in a series of posts on X.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">“Iran couldn’t down an F-35, so it conjured one with AI. A ‘destroyed jet,’ a ‘leveled airport,’ even a Star Wars Star Destroyer hidden under Tel Aviv—all fabricated and pushed out as proof of victory,” Honest Reporting pointed out. When someone hilariously posted a claim that Israel was hiding F-35 jets and submarines under an apartment building, Honest Reporting gibed, “This isn’t in the sub-level of a Tel Aviv apartment building. It’s an Imperial Star Destroyer from Star Wars.”</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">“Look closely: tail fins installed backwards, an engine still glowing, untouched grass, absurd scale. Each detail betrays the image, but the fakes raced around the internet long before anyone asked questions,” Honest Reporting noted.</p>

<p style="font-weight: 400;">D-Intent Data, another site devoted to combating misinformation posted on X, “A terrifying video showing a massive explosion, thick black smoke rising into the sky, and people fleeing the scene is being circulated with the claim that it shows Iranian missile strikes on Israel amid the ongoing tensions.”</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">“However, we found that the video is actually from the Russia-Ukraine war. According to reports, it shows the aftermath of a Ukrainian drone attack in January 2025 that caused fires at a Russian oil refinery in the Ryazan region,” the post continued. “INTENT: Propaganda accounts are circulating old videos from the Russia-Ukraine war with misleading claims to set their narrative over the ongoing tensions in the Middle East.”</p>

<p style="font-weight: 400;">“An unofficial Iranian ‘news’ outlet is peddling fake images to push blatant disinformation in [a] time of conflict. This isn’t journalism- it’s manipulation. Fabricating visuals to deceive people is shameless and dangerous,” Priyankka Deo, professor and host of “The Indian Abroad,” wrote on X.</p>
