This video shows the Balochistan Liberation Army’s suicide bomb attack in Lasa Bela that killed 40 Pakistani soldiers after the Pahalgam terror attack.

Publisher’s rating: MISLEADING

The video shows the Israeli attack on Beirut in November 2024, not the claimed BLA attack in Lasbela. The review says a BLA attack on an army camp near Bela that killed more than 40 Pakistani soldiers was described in a letter from 26 August 2024, while a separate attack on a Pakistani army convoy in Quetta on 25 April 2025 allegedly killed 10 soldiers.

The review found no reports or complaints that laxatives were given to devotees at dansals during the Tooth Relic Exhibition, and the police, Temple media office, and Kandy Municipal Council said they knew of no such incident or investigation. It also found no evidence that Deputy Defence Minister Aruna Jayasekara made the quoted statement; the footage used in the posts was from January 25, 2025, and concerned a different event.
