Several videos showing a damaged airport, with extensive rubble and dramatic views, are circulating widely on social media.
According to the claims that accompany it, it depicts the airport in Tel Aviv, following a suspected Iranian attack.
This is being distributed with the caption: "Tel Aviv Airport."
After fact-checking, it was found that these videos were generated with artificial intelligence.
What was found by hibrid.info?
During the verification process of the first video, published by the Facebook page Lufta Hibridre, through a reverse search of several video frames using the Google Lens tool, it was determined that no reliable source had shared this video.
However, we were able to trace its origins to an account in Instagram (3amelyon), which was published on May 27.
This indicates that the video was circulating before the latest round of conflict between Israel and Iran, during which the airport in Tel Aviv was allegedly targeted.
Furthermore, the account's bio stated that the content was created with the help of artificial intelligence. We also noticed that this account regularly shared videos generated through artificial intelligence tools.
We then analyzed the video by sending it to the Hive Moderation platform’s AI-generated content detector. The tool assessed that the video “is likely to contain AI-generated content or is fake content” with a 99.1% confidence level.
Finally, we compared an aerial view of Ben Gurion Airport in Tel Aviv, obtained via Google Maps, with the footage shown in the video. The results showed that the two images do not match, confirming that the video does not authentically depict the alleged airport. (here)
also the second video, published by the Facebook account Kujtim Cekani, which shows images of a destroyed airport claimed to be in Tel Aviv, has been analyzed and found to have been generated through artificial intelligence. Verification of sources and technical analysis showed that the images are not authentic, but the product of artificial generation tools.
Analyze:
Artificial intelligence-generated videos purporting to show Tel Aviv Airport after a suspected Iranian attack are circulating widely on social media.
These dramatic images, showing a damaged airport covered in rubble, are being shared with the caption "Tel Aviv Airport."
However, after verifying the facts, it was determined that the videos are not authentic, but created through artificial intelligence tools.
