Emerging story
Israeli accounts on the social media platform X have recently circulated an image claiming to depict the Israeli incursion into the streets of Gaza Strip, purportedly showing tanks with the Israeli flag.
Misbar’s Analysis
Misbar investigated the circulating claim and found it to be fake. The image was generated by artificial intelligence and does not depict Israeli military tanks during their incursion into the Gaza Strip.
Indicators Suggest the Image Was Created Using Artificial Intelligence
Misbar found technical indicators suggesting that the image was generated using AI software. These indicators reveal inconsistencies and errors in the image, such as repetitive smoke patterns from buildings, an Israeli flag depicted on a tank surrounded by water bottles, and distortions in the buildings and structural elements, including shadow reflections.
Upon checking the image using the specialized tool, Fake Image Detector, designed to unveil the truth behind manipulated images using advanced techniques like artificial intelligence software, the result indicated, 'It looks like Computer Generated or Modified image."
The Ongoing Israeli Ground Incursion Into the Gaza Strip
The claim surfaced as the Israeli army persisted with its ground operations in Gaza, engaging in intense battles with resistance factions on multiple fronts.
The number of Palestinian civilian casualties has escalated since the commencement of the Gaza war on October 7, resulting in 18,787 fatalities and 50,897 wounded individuals, with the majority being women and children.
The Resistance Targets and Destroys Israeli Military Vehicles in Gaza
On Saturday, December 15, the Al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of the Hamas movement, announced the targeting of Israeli vehicles infiltrating east of Khan Yunis with mortar shells.
Additionally, the Al-Quds Brigades, the military wing of the Islamic Jihad movement, declared that they had shelled Israeli military gatherings in the Deir Al-Balah area, central Gaza, using large-caliber mortars.
Earlier, the Al-Quds Brigades announced the targeting of an Israeli tank and a military bulldozer of type 'D9' with Tandem shells in the Tal Al-Zaatar area, northern Gaza.
