تداولت حسابات وصفحات على منصة "إكس" تويتر سابقا مقطع فيديو تزعم أنه يُظهر اندلاع حرائق في مدينة حيفا الإسرائيلية، مع الإشارة إلى أن الوضع خرج عن السيطرة ويتطلب تدخلاً من الولايات المتحدة لردع إيران.

全国民に2万円給付のために税金を増やす?

Publisher’s rating: 誤り

The review says the claim that taxes would be increased to fund the payment is incorrect: the proposed funding source was revenue exceeding the 2024 fiscal-year tax forecast, not a tax increase. It reports that Shigeru Ishiba announced a ¥20,000-per-person payment as a ruling-party election pledge on June 13, 2025.

The video shows the helicopter that crashed in Gaurikund, Uttarakhand, on 15 June 2025, resulting in the death of all passengers on board.

Publisher’s rating: FALSE

The video does not show the helicopter involved in the Gaurikund crash; it shows a separate AIIMS Rishikesh heli ambulance incident in Kedarnath. The ambulance helicopter crash-landed on 17 May 2025, and all three people on board survived. The review says the video predates and is unrelated to the Gaurikund crash.
