Full Fact investigates misleading and false claims about the Israel–Gaza conflict shared around the world. Our independent fact checks examine viral videos, AI-generated images and social media posts that misrepresent events or people linked to the conflict.
We also verify statements by officials and media outlets to provide clear, evidence-based context. Drawing on open-source research, expert analysis and credible international reporting, each article explains what’s real, what’s fake and what remains unverified.
