In the 11 second video, Trump can be heard saying, "May Allah ...

The photo is being shared on social media claiming that it shows President Biden in a meeting to authorise US military action in the Middle East. Three US soldiers were killed in a drone attack on a US military outpost in Jordan on January 29, 2024. They were identified as Sgt. William Rivers, 46, of Carrollton, Georgia; Specialist Kennedy Sanders, 24, of Waycross, Georgia; and Specialist Breonna Moffett, 23, of Savannah, Georgia...

By Srijit Das A video showing a child eating grass is viral on social media platforms with captions falsely linking it to the ongoing situation of food shortage in Gaza, following months of airstrikes from Israel. BOOM found that the video predates the current escalation of the Israel-Palestine conflict, which began on October 7, 2023, and is thus unrelated to the fallout of Israel's airstrikes on the region which has led to the ongoing food crisis in Gaza. Gaza is currently facing unprecedented levels of food shortage, following months of retaliatory bombings by Israel in response to Hamas' a...

By Ritika Jain Israel told the International Court of Justice (ICJ) – the United Nations' (UN) top court, that South Africa “grossly distorted” the story of genocide against the Palestinians while defending its military actions in Gaza. “If there were acts of genocide, it has been perpetrated against Israel,” Becker, the legal advisor to the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs, said. The ICJ—the UN's judicial arm—was hearing South Africa’s case against Israeli actions in Gaza. South Africa on January 11 said Israel had “genocidal intent” against the Palestinians living in Gaza. The hearing com...

By Archis Chowdhury Social media is rife with posts claiming that Israel has changed its barcode number from 729 to 871, and urging people to boycott Israeli products by avoiding purchasing products with this barcode number. BOOM found these posts to be misleading; we found that the prefix 729 continues to be issued by GS1 Israel, while 871 is one of the prefixes issued by GS1 Netherlands. Furthermore, according to the GS1, the not-for-profit company in-charge of allotting company prefixes for barcodes, the prefix in itself does not reveal where the product was manufactured.

By Archis Chowdhury On Sunday, the ICC 2023 Cricket World Cup final match between India and Australia came to a brief halt, when the pitch was invaded by a man wearing a t-shirt containing the slogans "Free Palestine", and "Stop Bombing Palestine".

Over 12,000 people have been reportedly killed in Israeli airstrikes in the Gaza stri...

This was followed by Isr...
