Hamas staged a coordinated attack against Israel late Friday ET, Saturday local time, and Israel responded by launching airstrikes against the territory. X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter, has been an important tool for learning about the unfolding violence in the region, but some of the viral images coming out of Israel and Gaza are old or taken out of context, while others are just completely fake.

The violence has killed at least 250 Israelis and at least 230 Palestinians, according to the latest figures from the Washington Post, with thousands more injured on both sides. Israel’s prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared on Saturday, “we are at war, and we will win it.”

But bad information is getting thrown around at a rapid pace on X as the world tries to make sense of the violence. A video shared by an account with the name Junaid Rajput purports to show a militant with Hamas firing a shoulder-mounted weapon and striking an Israeli helicopter. But as the BBC’s Shayan Sardarizadeh points out, the video is actually from the video game Arma 3.

The video has been seen by over 300,000 people on X at the time of this writing and hasn’t yet received a Community Note, the crowdsourced fact-checking program that allows users to submit corrections for inaccurate information.
