Information attributed to NBC has spread on social media, stating: “Abu Obeida was killed in a precise military operation”
Kashif verified the information and found that it was plagiarism. Kashif searched the website and official accounts of the NBC network on social media platforms and did not find any mention of this information
Kashif also searched the Hamas website and its official channel on Telegram and did not find any mention of the assassination of Abu Obeida, the spokesperson of the Qassam Brigades, the military wing of Hamas. The last thing the movement published was a mourning for the head of Hezbollah’s Executive Council, Hashem Safi al-Din, in addition to the movement’s condemnation of the attack that targeted the Turkish Aerospace Industries Company (TUSAŞ) in Ankara
The Israeli-Hebrew affairs team at Kashif searched the media and official Hebrew websites and did not find any mention of the assassination or targeting of Abu Obeida
Kashif had previously verified a claim attributed to NBC regarding the recent release of 20 Israeli prisoners by Hamas, and it turned out to be fabricated and baseless
