Accounts on social media circulated a report claiming that Fahim Issa, the Syrian deputy defense minister for the northern region, had been injured in the Tal al-Eis explosion in the southern Aleppo countryside, attaching to the report an image carrying the news template of the Al-Hadath channel.
Kashaf followed up on the report and searched the Al-Hadath channel's website and its social media accounts, and the team found no similar report on Al-Hadath's site or platforms; on reviewing official and local Syrian sources, no reliable report was found about the injury of Syrian deputy defense minister Fahim Issa.
Why is this claim untrue?
Forging a news channel's template: Claiming that Fahim Issa was injured, while forging the Al-Hadath channel's template and using it without relying on any reliable source, constitutes an untrue claim.
