It's extremely concerning how easily AI videos are already fooling the general public. Endless replies on the OPs post either unable to tell if it's real/fake or believe it to be genuine.
It won't be long until it'll be virtually impossible to tell the difference.

3 tips to help tell which videos are AI:
1. Look at the fine details of the video. For this one, the AI messes up when the penguin tries to eat the shrimp:

The following image from the hostage exchange has gained significant attention, with commentators highlighting it as an example of disinformation.
In fact, there are two possible disinformation scenarios at play here.

Let me explain: This image was uploaded by QudsFeed at 20:17 local time, claiming to show the hostage exchange that had occurred earlier. Unfortunately, I couldn't determine the exact timing of the event from this image due to the absence of significantly visible shadows.

There are several issues with this list including:
1. A missing name.
2. Unrelated names.
3. False/Missing data.

On October 7th, 2023 the number of children (17 & younger) killed was 36 - NOT 40.

This thread provides a thorough correction to the OPs list. A more detailed list of the 36 children killed on Oct 7th will be published at a later date.

This video has nothing to do with the fires in California.

This video was uploaded on Tiktok by @dodon_66, and showcases a fire at the "Badhütte Rorschach", a bathing house located in Rorschach, Switzerland that was burnt down in a fire on December 23, 2024.

Two weeks ago, I had the privilege of representing @FakeReporter at @Limmud 2024, where I discussed the critical challenges we face daily—from managing the spread of fake news during crises to understanding the severe repercussions of misinformation, such as digital or physical lynchings and even the denial of atrocities. A snippet from one of the lectures:
"The Power of Lies: Disinformation's Role in Sparking Chaos and Conflict."

In this section, I discussed how public WhatsApp groups, fueled by hatred, fake news, and lack of police oversight, contributed to the 2021 Bat Yam lynching.

This video isn't from Gaza.

The video originates from a Facebook account called "Moin Fishing/Nomads Cooking".
It was likely filmed in Iran - Which I determined via a license plate that appears in 1 of their videos.

It's not 100% clear if the videos are scripted or genuine.

The origin of the video is Iran, due to this license plate that appears in one of their videos:

Fake news often involves the repeated misuse of the same footage to push false narratives, like the August 29th gas station explosion in Aden, Yemen, falsely repurposed in multiple contexts.

This thread showcases several examples 🧵 Exhibit A - Claiming the video showcases a gliding bomb destroying the al-Julani headquarters in Idlib, Syria on December 1st, 2024.

In the past few days, you've probably come across the following account: @SMensch69/@supermensch69 who claimed to be a retired IDF Colonel, sharing supposed "major leaks" about IDF casualties in Southern Lebanon.

Are the leaks real? An OSINT review.
(Spoiler: They aren't) Notes:
While I’ve identified several inconsistencies that can be publicly verified, there are likely other issues that former IDF soldiers could spot. However, OSINT relies on data and expertise that can be independently verified through third-party sources, rather than relying on personal experience or unconfirmed knowledge.

However, you're welcome to add those noted inconsistencies to the replies.

We have now gotten to the point where footage of IDF airstrikes in Gaza are falsely used to depict events elsewhere.

Every single video showcased here is from Gaza. How do I know? I checked them all.
A Verification 🧵

Note: These were some of the earliest examples of this footage uploaded, it could be slightly older. However, they are all from Gaza.

Let's begin in chronological order to simply things:

The recent IDF airstrikes in Lebanon and Hezbollah's rocket barrages in Northern Israel have triggered a surge of fake reports, including unrelated photos and videos misattributed to these events.

Here are 16 examples we analyzed at @FakeReporter 1. This video, claimed to show destruction in Israel caused by Hezbollah rockets, is entirely unrelated. The left footage shows fireworks from the 103rd anniversary of Mouloudia Club d'Alger in Algeria, while the right features a fire at Sangkulirang Market in Benua Baru Village, Indonesia.

The most common type of photographic misinformation I have encountered is the direct result of the Broken Telephone Effect.

It's simple, it's easy to mess up, and it can lead to atrocity denial.

A thread. The following photo is currently being used within the framework of "dark humor", a type of comedy that focuses on making a joke out of taboo and serious topics.

In this case, it's joking about the current situation of children in Gaza who lost their parents.

A thread of every newspaper in my collection from the period of Mandatory Palestine:

"The Palestine Post" - 1933

"The Palestine Gazette" - 1938/40/44

The explosion in the soccer field of Majdal Shams, killing 12 children, gained significant media attention and was surrounded by unconfirmed reports. This thread by @FakeReporter aims to provide a comprehensive overview based on available evidence.
A 🧵 Our analysis at @FakeReporter of the available material presented us with almost certainty that the explosion was caused by a Faraq-1 rocket, launched from southern Lebanon by Hezbollah, and not a Tamir interceptor by the Iron Dome.

The strike that hit the soccer field within the city of Majdal Shams (Located in the Golan Heights, controlled by Israel) is resulting in your feeds being flooded with unconfirmed reports, rumors and political statements that aren't related to the event itself.

An Analytical Overview of the Strike: Despite reports suggesting it is "odd" for Majdal Shams to be targeted, the city has faced threats from rockets and drones originating from Southern Lebanon and the Syrian side of the Golan Heights at least 29 times since October 11, 2023. For sources - DM.

On July 21st, 2024 a video was published of a masked individual threatening to commit acts of violence against people in France for supporting Israel - But was it an authentic clip?
A🧵 The earliest publication of the video was by @endzionism24, an account created in February 2024.
This account has several oddities that make it suspicious:

Since the attempted assassination of former US President Donald Trump, there have been numerous accusations regarding the identity of the gunman and who was responsible on @X.
Let's run through several examples together: It's important to note that as of writing this, we do not have the full story regarding the ideology of the shooter.
These things take time to be verified.

Let's begin:

The official statement by Hamas regarding the IDF strike (referred to by them as the "Mawasi Khan Younis Massacre") includes a notably interesting line:

they aren't denying the rumors that any Hamas leader was killed, only that the claims of targeting leaders are false.

The distinction is significant. Hamas's message is that the IDF targeted the crowded al-Mawasi humanitarian zone to kill scores of Palestinians, not their leaders.

This leaves room for Hamas be flexible to respond if the IDF somehow proves publicly that Deif or Salameh was killed. They can then say, "We never said leaders weren't killed, just that they weren't the target." The full statement by Hamas:
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful

The Mawasi Khan Younis Massacre: Continuation of the Nazi Genocide Against Our People, and the American Administration is a Direct Partner in This Crime

We condemn in the strongest terms the horrific Mawasi Khan Younis massacre, which marks a dangerous escalation in the unprecedented series of crimes and massacres in the history of wars, being committed in the Gaza Strip by the new Nazis.

This heinous massacre, committed by the zionist occupation army, targeted the Mawasi area west of Khan Younis city, an area designated by the occupation army as "safe zones," where citizens were encouraged to move. The occupation’s aircraft, artillery, and drones intensely and successively targeted the tents of the displaced with various types of weapons, resulting in hundreds of martyrs and wounded among innocent unarmed civilians.

The occupation's claims of targeting leaders are false claims. This is not the first time the occupation has claimed to target Palestinian leaders, and it has later proven to be false. These false claims are merely to cover up the extent of the horrific massacre.

The Mawasi Khan Younis massacre, which targeted an area crowded with more than 80,000 displaced people, is a clear confirmation by the zionist government of its continuation of the genocide against our Palestinian people through the repeated and systematic targeting of unarmed civilians in tents, displacement centers, and residential neighborhoods, committing the most heinous crimes against them, indifferent to calls to stop targeting innocent civilians or adhering to any laws of war that impose their protection.

This disregard for international law and treaties, and the wide-ranging violations against unarmed civilians, would not have continued without the support provided by the American administration to the zionist extremist government and its terrorist army, by covering up their crimes, providing all means of political and military support, and paralyzing international justice from carrying out its role towards these crimes, making it a full partner in them.

We have seen many images and videos of dead children from other warzones falsely labeled as Palestinian victims of the IDF in Gaza.
While some view this as only disinformation, it often results from viewers simply not verifying information
Why does this happen? A🧵 Disclaimer: This thread is based on my professional experience as an analyst of mis/disinformation, observing how such content spreads, leads to atrocity denial, and why it happens.
Warning: Distressing images will be included.

Verifying evidence, especially by a government body, can be incredibly difficult since the public isn't always privy to the sources on which claims are based.
What can mitigate this? Precedent.

A review of the claim that the IDF Found a War-Themed "Snakes and Ladders" Gaza. Backstory:
Multiple Pro-Israel activists, government officials and government spokespersons claimed that the IDF had found the follow boardgame in Rafah, Gaza.

This was met with a lot of skepticism by Anti-Israel activists, much of who outright denied this alleged "evidence".

This is the last report I could find regarding Noa's latest testimony about her captivity. Based on the account by the reporter, @DadonAdva, Noa does not mention or indicate anything that would lend us evidence to prove she was held by Abdullah.

I'll update this thread again when we evidence as to Abdullah's alleged involvement or not in holding Noa captive:

Evidence already discussed:

Misleading:
It is not confirmed that Abdallah Aljamal was holding Noa Algamani captive in his home.
This is based on a testimony provided by Ramy Abdu, and a subsequent analysis by Eitan Fischberger.
