While news of India’s military retaliation to the terror attack in Pahalgam, dubbed ‘Operation Sindoor’, broke out in the early hours of May 7, the internet was flooded with misinformation and fake news. As netizens remained confused about the veracity of the news reaching them, Alt News co-founder Mohammed Zubair fact checked several claims, even those made by Pakistani internet users.
Several videos and photos from Israel and Gaza were shared online, claiming to be footage from Pakistan in the aftermath of Operation Sindoor. Zubair and Alt News fact checked these, and even shared their original sources.
