The Albanian-language information portal "sot.com.al" has published an article titled "Gunshots fired at a mosque, injuries reported."
But the content of the article on the relevant portal indicates that it is about an event that took place in Istanbul.
The headline is also inaccurate, as it suggests that the injury was caused by a gun, and that the illustrative photograph also shows a gun. The article explains that one of the visitors to a mosque in the Fatih district of Istanbul attacked an imam and a priest with a knife.

Analyze:
An Albanian-language information portal has published an article regarding an event that occurred in a mosque in Istanbul, without clarifying in which country the event occurred.
Also, the headline incorrectly claims that the injury occurred after the gun was fired, while the content states that the injury occurred as a result of stabbing.
Based on its work methodology, hibrid.info assesses this article as "Clickbait" and "Manipulation of facts".
Reasoning:
The “Clickbait” rating is given to texts whose titles have no basis in the content of the following text. Such texts and articles aim to attract the attention of the reader or even the consumer with a sensational title by promising content that does not actually exist and are created mainly out of financial interest, that is, due to increased readability. So, this type of text is intended only to click, which can be converted into a profit for the content producer.
The evaluation as "Manipulation of facts" is given to those media reports that use facts known to be correct, but interpret them in a distorted way. These reports typically use inaccurate information to draw inaccurate conclusions or claims, thereby misdirecting consumers' conclusions of media content in relation to the actual meaning of the facts presented.
