نشرت حسابات على منصة "إكس"، يوم الجمعة 27 مارس 2026، ادعاءً يفيد بأن جماعة الحوثي أعلنت استهداف سفينة إسرائيلية في مضيق باب المندب.

Publisher’s rating: مضلل

The review says there was no official Houthi announcement of an attack on an Israeli ship in Bab al-Mandab and no reliable reports confirming such an incident. It identifies the circulated video as a clip from a Hindustan Times video discussing possible Houthi involvement in the war and past attacks on ships, rather than an announcement of the claimed attack.

මැද පෙරදිග යුධ ගැටුම් වලට අදාළ දර්ශන ලෙස දක්වමින් හුවමාරුවන නොමග යවන සුළු සටහන් පෙළක් !

Publisher’s rating: Misleading

The review examines several videos shared as footage of current Middle East conflicts, including a house fire in California, a 2019 ship seizure in the Strait of Hormuz, and passengers boarding a boat in the Philippines. It identifies those videos as depicting other events, and says footage attributed to an attack on Tel Aviv instead showed damage from a March 22, 2026, missile strike on Arad.
