  • Did Al-Assad run away from Damascus to Moscow?

    A viral tweet on social media (X) claims to capture Bashar al-Assad and Asma Al-Assad, walking through Moscow’s streets after his supposed resignation two days ago.
    ➢ Claim: After resigning and leaving Syria, the past President Bashar al-Assad and his wife, Asma al-Assad, are seen in a picture walking in Paris streets.
    A widely shared false context tweet and post on social media said that Syria’s president, Bashar al-Assad, has resigned and fled directly to Russia. The post or tweet states that Bashar al-Assad and his wife Asma were spotted walking in the streets of Moscow, where they were living in peace after fleeing to Syria. These posts and tweets had been spread widely the past few days on social media and it had been shared by a lot of people.
    The rumor spread due to the events happening in Syria as it had been a few days since Bashar Al-Asad resigned and his family fled to Moscow and there is a lot of assumptions on where he is right now.
    Accordingly, the claim is shown to be untrue. This photo wasn’t shot in Moscow and has nothing to do with what is currently happening. The truth is that the photo was taken in 2010 while Bashar and his wife were in Paris on a formal visit.

    Screenshot from Gettly image Website.

    In order to verify the legitimacy and provenance of this widely shared photo, a number of tools and search engines were used. The image was examined using Yandex to make sure it wasn’t artificial intelligence (AI) or fake. Yandex also offered many viewpoints and locations for the same image to ensure its credibility. According to TinEye and Google reverse image, multiple versions of the photograph were found, and numerous sources connected it to the 2010 trip to Paris, France. lastly, through manual research on google using operators it was found that Miguel Medina, a photographer that works with Getty Images, was identified as the original source who took the picture and was posted on Getty images website.

    Highlighting the elements in the picture

    Both of them can also be seen walking across the Parisian streets in the shot, which was taken when the Assads were on a formal visit, which helps in giving some background details to verify the location in the photo taken. Firstly, the NOUVELLES FRONTIERES which is a travel agency, and it is well-known for owning different locations in all of France. Secondly, the Tabac which is a French name for a tobacco shop, and it is so popular across all France streets. Lastly, the black bollards that line the roadway.
    In conclusion, the exact location of Bashar Al-Asasd remains unknown, and there had been rumors that Bashar may have escaped to Russia. Recycled photos like this one are frequently used to support false narratives, and the uncertainty surrounding his location has led to a rise in disinformation.

    Claim: In a video that has gone viral online, Ross Lynch is seen dancing with a Saudi woman at his concert in Saudi Arabia.

Ross Lynch’s prominence and the clip’s appeal caused it to gain popularity very rapidly. Numerous individuals started disseminating the video, claiming that the woman in it was a Saudi Arabian fan and that it was shot there. However, this claim is false.

    The right thing is that the video was filmed in London, England.

  • Did Israel Destroy Syria’s Navy?

    On December 10, 2024, a news piece was widely spread on social media platforms that Israel has announced destroying the Syrian military navy fleet, while the attached image of the news story carries another story.

    By Jana Elkerm                                                                                        Published Dec. 16, 2024

        Photo screenshot from the news story of “هنا القاهرة” ’s Facebook page

    ➢ Claim: Israel announces the destruction of the Syrian military navy

    Several news outlets, including: “صدى البلد”, reported about this piece of news, without knowing that the image followed by the article is a false context, as well as the lack of verification in the pre-publishing stage of their news articles.

    Due to the ongoing incidents happening between Israel and Syria, the news was widely spread among people on social media platforms, including: Facebook, X, Instagram, and YouTube, marking a dramatic situation in the current Israel-Syria escalating conflict.

    While there is actually evidence that Israel conducted airstrikes in Syria on the 9th of December, 2024, leaving significant damage on Syrian ships, port facilities, and military assets, the complete truth behind the whole picture of the destructions remains unclear.

    Till now, no official reports, either from The Israeli Ministry of Defense and the IDF or from reliable authoritative news sources, have reported or mentioned a complete destruction of the Syrian navy.

    Therefore, there is no visual documentation or imagery supporting this narrative after the recent Israeli strike.

    However, a false image was spread along this news story, claiming that this featured military navy of Israel launches a strike towards Syria due to the current incidents.

    The real image was published on March 28, 2023 for a Russian navy boat while launching an anti-ship missile test in the Peter the Great Gulf in the Sea of Japan.

    The image was falsely taken to a different news piece with different sides involved in the story, while ignoring the fact that the ship showed in the image is hanging the flag of the Russian army.

  • Egypt Sets New Poverty Line, Income Below 12,321 Pounds Declares Official Poverty Status

    On November 30, the Central Agency for Public Mobilization and Statistics in Egypt announced that you are officially below the poverty threshold if your income is less than 12.321 pounds.

    A photo from page lamoo4 

    Claim: The Central Agency for Public Mobilization and Statistics announced  that you are officially below the poverty threshold if your income is less  than 12.321 pounds.

    On 30 November 2024, a page called lamoo4 published a photo claiming that the  Central Agency for Public Mobilization and Statistics said that if your income is less  than 12.321 pounds, you are officially below the poverty threshold. 

    This statement is fabricated. The Central Agency for Public Mobilization and Statistics  has not issued any recent reports about the poverty threshold. 

    The value of the national poverty threshold per individual is determined by income and  research issued by the Central Agency for Public Mobilization and Statistics. The latest  research, covering the years 2020/2019, set the poverty line for an individual at 858.3  Egyptian pounds per month.

    Furthermore, a Google image search shows that the image has been circulating online  since 2019 and is constantly repeated at different times.

    photo from many accounts on X, Facebook, and Instagram  

    Accounts and pages on social media have been circulating news, sourced from the  Egyptian newspaper Al-Shorouk, stating that individuals with a monthly income below  8827 Egyptian pounds have officially been classified as living below the poverty line. 

    The news has been proven to be false, as the design was fabricated to include a report  published by the Egyptian newspaper Al-Shorouk in 2019, not recently. It stated that  those with an annual income below 8827 Egyptian pounds have officially been classified  as living below the poverty line. 

    The design is fabricated. The original design states that if your income is less than 8827  Egyptian pounds “annually,” not “monthly.”

  • The Erosion of Truth Behind The Found Of Sadam Hussein

    Claim:

    Sadam Hussein the past Iraq president was found on Saydaneya prison in Syria after the downfall of Bashar ElAssad.

    In December 2024, after the downfall of Bashar ElAssad, attention turned to Saydnaya prison, amid many Syrians seeking from their families who have been detained and missing for years. Claims started spreading on social media platforms about the Saydnaya detained prisoners. An image of Sadam Hussein was widely spread on X, claiming that Sadam Hussein is found in Saydaneya prison in Syria after years of his death.

    Copies and modified versions were widely spread on Facebook , X and news website, from various accounts.

    Did Sadam Hussein appear in Saydnaya prison?

    Many sources defended that it was Sadam Hussein, claiming that he was found in Saydnaya prison. Adding, that Sadam Hussein is still alive. Sadam Hussein  was After checking, it was verified that it is not Sadam Hussein in the picture. Verification tools provided clear evidence of the main image and that it was AI fabricated.

    The truth behind the real image:

    The main image goes back to 5 December 2017,  to report to the arrest of former Georgian President Mikhail Saakashvili in the Ukrinian capital Kiev in 2017. AI tools were used to fabricate the image of Sadam Hussein to manipulate the public and make propaganda. The image of Saakashvili was replaced with an image of Sadam Husssein and the security agents clothing was altered to display the Iraqi flag rather than Ukrainian one.

    Artificial intelligence (AI) has become a topic of discussion about Syrian prisons, particularly the Saidnaya prison, since the recent events in Syria and the removal of President Bashar al-Assad’s administration. Since the start of the events, images and videos showing Syrian prisons and the misery of prisoners have been shared on social media.

  • Is there really a definitive cure for cancer?

    The FDA announced the approval of drug that can treat cancer Vitrakvi is a targeted therapy  designed to treat specific types of solid tumors that carry a genetic mutation known as NTRK.

    The photo of Vitrakvi.

    Claim: Vitrakvi is a miracle drug that cures all types of cancer.

    Cancer is considered one of the main causes of death, and it affects people of all ages due  to various genetic changes that ultimately lead to the cell losing control over growth and  division, causing excessive division and tumors to form. Rumors abound about the  existence of curative treatments for it, the most prominent of which during this period  was the claim that one of the anti-tumor drugs under development is a cure for cancer of  all types and regardless of its location.

    In November 26, 2018 social media users began talk the US Food and Drug  Administration (FDA) announced the approval of the first drug in the world that can treat  cancer from its source and origin, for adults and children, according to what the  commissioner of the government agency said. The drug “Vitrakvi” relies on treating  genetic mutations in cancerous tumors, regardless of the type of disease or its place of  origin. The new drug will help cancer patients obtain the appropriate treatment, and the  drug “Vitrakvi” contributes to the treatment of people who suffer from different  cancerous tumors, but who possess common genetic mutations. Traditionally, cancer  was treated based on the source of the cancerous tumor, but now the treatment will be  anywhere in the body because you are treating the original gene that caused the tumor

    to appear. The drug was actually tried on humans, and the case of recovery of a child was  recorded within months after taking the drug, and the drug will be offered on two bodies,  the first in the form of tablets or capsules, and the other in the form of a syrup for  children in particular.

    But this news is partly false.

    The drug Vitrakvi is not a magic drug that kills cancer in all its forms and stages. The  drug Vitrakvi is the second drug that treats tumors that carry a specific genetic  characteristic. It is a specialized drug for treating solid cancerous tumors that carry the  NTRK genetic factor. The drug is for specific types that can spread and cannot be  removed surgically. This drug is considered promising and important in that it is directed  to a specific area in which the production of the NTRK gene increases, and it will be  available to adults and children whose tumors carry this genetic factor. Not all tumors  responded to treatment. The tumors that responded to the drug at a rate of 39% were  sarcoma, salivary gland tumor, thyroid cancer, lung cancer, and infantile fibrosarcoma. This medication also had some common side effects that were not mentioned, such as  fatigue, nausea, vomiting, cough, constipation, diarrhea, and dizziness. It is necessary to  have a periodic blood test to check liver function, and pregnant and breastfeeding women  are not allowed to take it. This treatment is used to treat specific cases and not all  tumors. The Saudi Food and Drug Authority made a clarification regarding this drug.

  • Did Kamala Harris Really Threaten to Shut Down X? Here’s the Truth. 

    In the midst, of the 2024 U.S. presidential elections, there have been circulating rumors  that Vice President Kamala Harris might shut down X (previously Twitter) if elected. The  widely shared accusations on social media originate from misinterpreted remarks made  during an interview in 2019. Harris talked about not shutting down the platform but  rather suspending Donald Trump’s account. The comment has been misrepresented,  according to fact-checkers, which feed false information online. 

    Screen Shot of a tweet from @PoliticsViedeoChannel that  

    circulated X during the election.

    ➢ Claim: Kamla Harris would shut down “X” if she won the elections. 

    The post that was circulating X had pictures of both Elon Musk and Kamala Harris from  different events that they attended. In other words, the pictures had no relation to what  the caption was saying.  

    Elon musk at Paris Tech Conference  in 2023.

    campaign in 2024. 

    Further investigations were carried to find the original video of Kamla Harris claim by  using fact-checking tools like Yandex, TinEye and Boolean Operators (advanced google  search). The widely circulated allegations proved that they are a misrepresentation of  Harris’ 2019 remarks in which she demanded that former President Donald Trump’s  Twitter account be shut down for using offensive language. She never advocated for the  platform to be shut down. Voters are confused because of the out-of-context statement being misrepresented and spread on social media. 

    Screen Shot from Reuters in October of 2019  

    from the democratic primary debate.

    Misinformation frequently spreads more quickly than the truth in the hyperconnected  world of today. Harris’ 2019 comments focused on holding people responsible for  breaking platform rules rather than shutting down entire services like X.
