The "Syrian Observatory for Human Rights" and other accounts on social media published a report claiming the Ministry of Interior had deleted news related to the arrest of a cell affiliated with "ISIS" in the Quneitra countryside, without explaining why it was deleted.
The fact-checking team reviewed the official handles and accounts of the Ministry of Interior and ran keyword searches related to the circulating report, and found that the news was published on the Ministry's "Internal Security Forces" page and remains available on the page to this day, contrary to what the circulating claim stated.
Why is this claim misleading?
Fabricated news: The claim was built on a deletion that never happened, as the original post remained published and available on the "Internal Security Forces" page, suggesting an official cover-up of the matter that did not occur.
