Merry! The Israeli military believes the diary contains names of Hamas “terrorists”.

As the Israel-Hamas war rages and Tel Aviv’s military shows its might by indiscriminately targeting civilians and hospitals, disinformation is also on the rise — ostensibly promoted by pro-Israel people.

During a major event such as an armed conflict, many social media users share misleading or unsubstantiated claims, including incorrect images or altered documents, in an attempt to shape public perception.

This included fake footage of women being attacked after they died, Hamas “parachute gliders” — which was actually an old video of Egyptian parachutes — and so many other video clips, including the famous 40 babies.

But the latest has sparked riots and anger, as shared by the Israel Defense Force (IDF) — showing they are pushing propaganda at the state level.

In a post on X, formerly known as Twitter, the IDF said its spokesman Vice Admiral Daniel Hagari walked through one of Hamas’ “underground terrorist tunnels — only to emerge at Gaza’s Radisi Hospital on the other side.”

“Inside these tunnels, Hamas […] are hiding, operating and holding Israeli hostages against their will,” he said in the post.

The fun begins now.

As the IDF representative passed by, he arrived at a room he claimed was where Hamas members were holding the hostages – who were kidnapped on October 7, when the group attacked Israel.

“We are in business […] against Israel,” the spokesman said, pointing to a calendar pinned to the wall.

He further described it as “a guard list where every terrorist writes their name and every terrorist has their own shift guarding the people who were here.”

As the Israeli military posted the video on X’s account, people were quick to point out that they needed to learn Arabic as they were surrounded by Arabic-speaking nations.

Fact checker Mohammad Zubair pointed out that the calendar just has days written on it, nothing more.

As the war will hardly stop, there will be more cases where people will share unverified claims — but then we should understand that no information should be consumed as it is, and we should cross things to come.
