The Israeli Air Force's military propaganda X account claimed that the footage demonstrated in the video showed attacks on Hezbollah's military infrastructure in Lebanon when it was not in fact true.

As "Israel" fails to save face amid unprecedented intelligence and military failures, the Israeli Air Force once again proved its unreliability and lack of credibility as its latest video of an attack targeting Hezbollah military infrastructure gets fact-checked.

The IAF account, via X, posted a video on Tuesday captioned, "A short while ago, the IAF struck terror targets and military infrastructure of the Hezbollah terrorist organization in Lebanon, in response to fire yesterday (Monday) towards Israel."

However, this video was soon fact-checked and proved to be false propaganda as the same video, posted earlier on October 15, 2023, was captioned as an alleged attack on Hamas' military infrastructure: "The Commander of the Hamas Southern District of National Security was killed; The IAF continues wide-scale strikes on Hamas military targets in the northern Gaza Strip IAF fighter jets, helicopters, and aircraft are continuing to strike terror targets in the Gaza Strip."

This shows the extent of failure to achieve any notable military or security objective neither on the northern front with Hezbollah nor on the southern front with the Resistance in Gaza. Moreover, this raises significant questions, and given the genocidal carpet bombing of Gaza, the video could be proof of a war crime wherein "Israel" targets yet another residential building killing tens of besieged Palestinians. 

In parallel, Hezbollah and the Resistance in Gaza have achieved multiple goals and successfully targeted multiple objectives across the occupied Palestinian territories.
