Meanwhile, a video has been circulated online claiming to show the current condition of Israeli warplanes—allegedly damaged or destroyed by Iranian strikes—with visible Israeli logos on the aircraft.

Fact-Check

Rumor Scanner Team’s investigation reveals that this is not a video of Israeli warplanes being damaged or destroyed by Iranian attacks in the ongoing Iran-Israel conflict. Rather, an old, AI-generated video has been shared with a false narrative.

In this investigation, the same video was found posted on the Instagram account named ‘3amelyon’ on May 22—well before the current conflict began. Watch it here.

This confirms that the video has been online prior to the current Iran-Israel conflict, and therefore, is not related to it.

Moreover, observing the damaged aircraft and surrounding environment in the video, it clearly appears to be AI-generated.

An old, AI-generated video has been falsely circulated as footage of Israeli warplanes damaged or destroyed by Iranian attacks in the ongoing Iran-Israel conflict. This claim is false.
