Pages on social media circulated a video clip whose publishers claimed that it shows Turkey carrying out a powerful and sudden military operation inside Syria, during which Israeli agents were arrested.
The Kashaf team examined the claim by breaking the clip into still images and running a reverse search on them, and the search results showed that the clip had previously been published by Dutch pages as documenting a military exercise involving a CH-47 Chinook helicopter and two Cougar helicopters carrying out landing operations in the suburbs of the Dutch city of Rotterdam during a military drill.
Why is this claim misleading?
Out of temporal and geographic context: The claim relied on a clip that was republished with an incorrect description bearing no relation to its actual content, and it has no connection to any Turkish military operation or to the arrest of Israeli agents in Syria.
