According to false reports, IDF chief Halevi was murdered

Rumors about the death of IDF Chief of General Staff Lt. Gen. Herzi Halevi circulated on social media following the Hezbollah drone strike that hit Israel near the Binyamina area on Sunday evening.

The fake reports about Halevi began to spread rapidly after the incident in which over 60 people were injured.

Shortly after the incident, “Halevi assassination reports” spread on the X/Twitter platform as X accounts with large followings began sharing their theories about Halevi’s death.

Dr. Anastasia Maria Loupis, a verified social media personality with over a million followers, announced that Halevi’s death has been confirmed. This is also wrong.

“Initial reports confirm the assassination of Israeli Army Chief of Staff Herzi Halevi,” Loupis wrote, sharing a picture of the IDF chief of staff.
