Accounts and pages on social media circulated reports, with their publishers claiming that Brigadier General Mohammad al-Jasem had died of a heart attack.
The Kashaf team verified the circulating reports by searching with the relevant keywords and reviewing the official accounts belonging to the Syrian government, including the Ministry of Defense, the "Syrian Al-Ikhbariya" channel and the Syrian Arab News Agency "SANA", and found that these reports are untrue: no official statements or obituaries confirming the death of Brigadier General Mohammad al-Jasem were published, and no reliable source or evidence proving the claim was found.
Why is this claim false?
Fabricated news: The report of the death of Brigadier General Mohammad al-Jasem from a heart attack was promoted without relying on any statement or obituary issued by a reliable official source.
