Away from attempts to induce condemnations of Hamas’ Operation Al-Aqsa Flood, Western media gets more biased by propagating fake news over alleged practices by Palestinian resistance fighters during the surprise attack which took place on October 7th.
CNN, the American media outlet known for its “groundbreaking experience”, got caught faking an attack by the resistance on the occupation entity.
A video circulated on social media showed a CNN news team going off the road on foot and falling to the ground, with a voiceover of a man’s voice appearing to guide the crew.
“Look round as if you’re in danger, try to look nice and scared,” he says in the video, among other similar statements.
LEAKED: CNN strikes again, folks.
What’s your take Elon?@elonmusk
On the left is the leaked version, on the right video is what made it to air.

More misleading news kept to emerge, with Social media platforms being swamped with fake news depicting Israelis as ‘victims’ attacked by Palestinians.
Of all social media platforms, X (formerly known as Twitter) appears to have had the worst outbreak of fake news related to Operation Al-Aqsa Flood.
Ian Miles Cheong, a far-right commentator whom X’s Elon Musk interacts with often, posted claimed Hamas fighters were going from house to house killing all Israelis inside the settlements.
A Community Note, an X feature that lets users add context to posts, stated that the gunmen in the clip were members of Israeli occupation policemen, not Hamas resistance fighters.
But the video is still up and has racked up millions of impressions. And hundreds of other X accounts have shared the clip on the platform, some of them with verified check marks, an Al Jazeera search showed.
In another footage that originates from Syria, a blue-tick account claimed to show Hamas fighters laughing, before an Israeli bomb is dropped.

The original clip was posted on YouTube at least four years ago, and appeared to show an attack on a convoy in Syria.
Moreover, the Western deception went ahead as American-Israeli lawyer and Republican official Mark Zell posted a video claiming to show a Jewish baby kidnapped by a so-called “Hamas terrorist”.
However, the footage was shared on TikTok in September, and is completely unrelated to the current situation in Gaza.
