Pages and accounts on social media circulated a report claiming that cells affiliated with the "ISIS" organization took over a government checkpoint in the al-Mansoura area of the Raqqa countryside, and that the checkpoint's personnel fled their positions.
The Kashaf team verified the claim by contacting its own field source, who confirmed that there was no presence of "ISIS"-affiliated cells at the checkpoint or in its vicinity, and denied that the checkpoint's personnel had fled their positions.
Why is this claim misleading?
Fabricated field reports: The claim does not match the available field information, as a field source denied the presence of "ISIS" cells at the checkpoint or in its vicinity, and denied that its personnel had fled their positions.
