As the West Asia war enters its fifth week, a parallel battle is unfolding online, misinformation. Fact-checkers say the scale of false content, much of it driven by AI, is unprecedented. A viral video of Benjamin Netanyahu sparked speculation after it appeared to show him with six fingers, fuelling claims he was replaced by an AI double. Despite multiple videos attempting to dispel rumours, conspiracy theories continued to spread. Experts warn AI-generated content is blurring the line between real and fake, while social media algorithms amplify misleading narratives. With over 500 false claims debunked, the bigger challenge now is not just spotting fakes, but trusting what is real.
