Rumours claiming that Benjamin Netanyahu was killed in Iranian airstrikes spread widely on social media after he briefly disappeared from public view. Some Iranian state-linked outlets speculated he may have been killed or wounded and cited the absence of recent videos or photos of him. However, Israeli officials dismissed the reports as “fake news”, stating Netanyahu remains active and has continued making statements about the conflict. He was also reported to have visited a missile-strike site in Israel, contradicting the claims.
