Publisher’s rating: Falso
Some areas of Davao City will be bombed on a Sunday.
Publisher’s rating: False
Zwei Geiseln, die am 12. Februar aus der Geiselhaft der Hamas gerettet wurden, wurden schon früher gerettet . Die Befreiungsaktion ist eine Inszenierung der israelischen Armee.
Publisher’s rating: Die Befreiung der Geiseln fand am 12. Februar statt. Die Behauptungen, Medien hätten schon mehrere Tage zuvor darüber berichtet, sind nicht haltbar. Sie lassen sich teils mittels Webseiten-Archivierungen, teils durch ein redaktionelles Missgeschick erklären.
The review says the hostages were rescued on February 12, not earlier. Archived versions show that the Times of Israel article was updated with Har’s rescue information on February 12; Haaretz’s February 2 date was a typo that was later corrected. The rescue was also recorded on video, according to the review.
Seit einigen Tagen kursiert auf X, ehemals Twitter, ein Video von einer Explosion, die mehrere Posts als Werk der Hisbollah ausgeben: "#Hisbollah trifft israelische Basis mit einer gelenkten Rakete und verursacht komplette Zerstörung", heißt es in zwei der zahlreichen X-Posts mit dem Video.
Publisher’s rating: Falsch
The review says the footage does not show a Hezbollah rocket strike: fires were already burning at the site before the explosion, and the video had circulated online years before the claimed attack. It traces the oldest findable upload to November 2015 and says the actual incident shown could not be established, while ruling out a current Hezbollah attack with high probability. [S1]

Russia is pursuing "denazification" in Ukraine.
Publisher’s rating: This is inaccurate
Research from related reporting says Moscow has continued to list denazification among its goals in Ukraine. A separate interview excerpt describes it as one of Russia’s maximum goals; these accounts report Russia’s stated aims, not independent verification of its motives.

Publisher’s rating: false
"Nosotros no empezamos esta guerra en 2022”.
Publisher’s rating: Falso
The review says the claim that Russia did not start the war is false, and identifies Russia’s invasion of Ukraine on February 24, 2022, as the start of the war. It says the international community has made clear that Moscow started the war and is the sole aggressor in the conflict.
Keine Kriege unter Trump
Publisher’s rating: Das ist falsch. Auch unter Donald Trump wurden Kriege geführt. Der Krieg in Afghanistan etwa dauerte bis zur Amtszeit von Trumps Nachfolger Joe Biden. Luftschläge des US-Militärs in Afghanistan, Pakistan, dem Jemen und Somalia sind nachgewiesen.
The review says the claim that Trump fought no wars is false: the Afghanistan war continued during his presidency and ended under his successor, Joe Biden. It also cites documented U.S. airstrikes in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Yemen, and Somalia.

Трамп обвинил власти США в организации теракта 11 сентября
