On the 14th, when Iran-Israel was hit by a drone missile attack, this news was important in the international media and the national media of Sri Lanka.

Social media users are sharing videos and news about the attack in the wake of the conflict.

Although the media has released verified accounts and recordings of the incident, Fact Seeker has noticed that fake photographs, and videos are being circulated.

Fact Seeker has identified some of the most shared videos and photos and explained them here.

Especially after Iran launched a missile attack on Israel, a video of the Palestinian people celebrating in front of Al-Aqsa Mosque in Palestine is being shared on social media, especially on the X site.

Although this is distributed as an incident that happened on the night of the drone missile attack on Iran-Israel on the 14th, there is no truth in this news.

This incident happened on the last 5th when the Palestinian people gathered and held a ceremony in front of Al-Aqsa Mosque. Many people mistakenly shared the video posted at that time.

Also, a video purporting to launch missiles from Yemen into Israel is also being shared rapidly on social media.

However, this video was not taken during the attack on Israel. This is a video posted on social media on December 15, 2015.

Also, a photo of drone missile attacks on Israel is currently being shared heavily.

However, this photo is a photo made with AI technology.

Fact Seeker has confirmed that mis-shared videos, artificial intelligence (AI) images, and fake news have a significant impact on society, even during the Iran-Israel attack. Fact Seeker continues to emphasize this point.
