Pages on social media circulated a news item citing a report by the "Agence France-Presse" agency, claiming that Syria intends to send thousands of fighters to Yemen in return for monthly salaries of up to 1500 dollars.
The "Kashaf" team checked the claim by reviewing the original report and official sources, and it emerged that the circulated figures and financial details do not appear in it.
Meanwhile, the Syrian Ministry of Foreign Affairs denied the existence of any plans to send fighters to Yemen.
Why is the news misleading?
Distortion of content: Adding figures and financial details that did not appear in the agency's original report, and attributing them to it, makes the news misleading.
