Accounts on social media circulated a report alleging that the Israeli army had imposed full control over the city of Daraa and was raiding homes there, alongside government withdrawals from the area.
The Kashaf correspondent in Daraa carried out a field investigation that included contacting local sources in the area, monitoring conditions on the ground, and reviewing the information circulating about the incident. It emerged that there were no indications or data confirming that the Israeli army had imposed control over the city of Daraa or carried out raids on homes there, and no government withdrawal from the area was recorded.
Why is this claim misleading?
Fabricated field reporting: The claim was written in the language of a breaking news alert and attributed to unspecified sources, presenting a development on the ground for which the investigation found no supporting data, in order to suggest a collapse of security in Daraa and stir confusion among local audiences.
