Accounts on social media circulated a report claiming that the Ministry of Defense commander Saif al-Din Boulad suffered a heart attack after moving to Turkey, following his removal from command of Division 76 and his resignation from military service.
The fact-checking team contacted a source to verify the claim, and the source denied these allegations entirely, affirming that Boulad did not suffer any health crisis or heart attack and was not moved to any hospital in Turkey for treatment. Cross-checking the information, the team found no official source confirming the circulated account.
Why is this claim misleading?
Recycling rumors: The claim rested on an undocumented account of an emergency health condition and attributed it to a close military source without evidence, while a source told Kashaf the incident was untrue, making the circulation of the report misleading and aimed at promoting information no official body supports.
