Hoax – A high-definition video supposedly shows an Israeli fighter jet performing risky maneuvers, destroying targets, and dodging missiles during a real attack on Iran.
Analysis
A video is circulating on social media, with thousands of shares, allegedly showing a real Israeli military jet performing impressive maneuvers while attacking targets in Iran. The footage shows scenes of destruction, missile chases, and low-altitude flights that have impressed viewers. The video is accompanied by captions claiming it is authentic.
The video has been used as supposed evidence of recent military operations between Israel and Iran, especially following the escalation of tensions between the countries. “Israeli jet raising hell in Iran,” says one of the circulating messages.
Fact-check
Although real airstrikes have occurred, the viral video looks more cinematic than real. To verify it, let’s answer the following: 1) Does the video show an Israeli fighter jet making amazing maneuvers and attacking Iran? 2) How was the video of Israeli jets over Iran made? 3) Are there other fake videos online?
Does the video show an Israeli fighter jet making amazing maneuvers and attacking Iran?
No. The video is not a real recording. It is a computer-generated production, likely taken from a flight simulator or video game. The exaggerated camera movement, light and explosion effects, and object behavior are typical of digital animations, not real war footage.
How was the video of Israeli jets over Iran made?
The video appears to have been created using CGI (computer-generated imagery). In many cases, creators use gaming graphics engines that simulate air battles with high realism. The use of such images out of context is common in misleading content.
Are there other fake videos circulating online?
Yes. Since the beginning of conflicts between Israel and Iran, fake videos have been widely shared to manipulate public perception. Many of them are made with game graphics or artificial intelligence.
In one case verified by G1’s Fato ou Fake, a video of an in-air refueling was created by AI. Another one, debunked by Aos Fatos, shows a fighter being destroyed but is actually a game scene.
Conclusion
The video showing an Israeli fighter jet performing spectacular maneuvers and attacking targets in Iran is not real. It’s a CGI animation, likely taken from a simulator or game. Although airstrikes involving Israel and Iran have occurred, the shared footage has no connection to those events and is part of a growing trend of fake videos during conflicts.
