Fact-check: Photo of Israeli PM Netanyahu being attacked by Iran on March 3

Jakarta (ANTARA/JACX) – A post on platform X claims an airstrike has been successful and the target eliminated, describing the day as a victory for the world.

The post features a photo alleged to show Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel amid rubble, surrounded by three people wearing vests and hard hats.

The narration in the post reads:

“Airstrike was successful. The target has been eliminated. Today marks a victory for the world.”

But is it true that the photo shows PM Netanyahu being attacked by Iran?

Explanation:

Based on verification, there is no official information stating that Netanyahu was attacked by Iran.

An inspection using the Hive Moderation AI detector also indicates that the image has a 99.7 percent probability of being AI-generated, evident from anomalies in skin texture, hand or glove details, and the logos and patches on the vest that are unclear.

Earlier, Netanyahu, on his official social media, referred to “Operasi Singa Mengaum” (Roaring Lion Operation) by Israel, which entered the third day of the country's aggression against Iran.

Thus, the photo of Israeli PM Netanyahu being attacked by Iran on 3 March is edited.
