مجموعه ویدیوها و خبرهای نادرست درباره حمله ۲۶ فروردین به اسرائیل؛ عملیات وعده صادق

Publisher’s rating: سپاه پاسداران در دقایق اولیه بامداد ۲۶ فروردین ۱۴۰۳ (به وقت ایران)، اعلام کرد تعدادی پهپاد و موشک را به سمت اسرائیل شلیک کرده است؛ عملیاتی که در ادبیات مقامات جمهوری اسلامی ایران با نام «وعده صادق»‌ شناخته می‌شود.

La cúpula de hierro ha sido casi inutilizada, después de estar toda la tarde defendiendo de los ataques desde el Líbano Israel está tratando de resistir los bombardeos y los aviones de combate de Irán.

Publisher’s rating: Falso

The review says the video does not show Iran’s attack on Israel; it identifies it as a World War II recreation made by a content creator in 2021. It reports finding the same footage in a February 2022 Facebook post and in a YouTube video published in October 2021.

Este video donde se ven cohetes o misiles perpendiculares chocando entre sí, en un cielo nocturno, muestra “La Cúpula de Hierro de Israel en acción” tras el ataque iraní.

Publisher’s rating: Falso

The review says the video was circulating on Telegram by December 13, 2023, before the Iranian attack, and that its origin could not be established. It notes that text on the video says the footage is from a game, so the review could not confirm that it shows Israel’s Iron Dome in action.
