The post described the moment as Netanyahu ordering the elimination of senior Iranian regime officials, although no further details were given about the timing of the meeting or whether it was linked to a specific strike.
The image was released at a time of heightened confrontation between Israel and Iran, with both sides trading threats and reports of military action continuing to emerge.
Rumours And Viral Clips Online
The photograph follows several days of speculation on social media claiming that Netanyahu had been killed in Iranian strikes, despite no official confirmation of such reports. The rumours gained traction after a viral video circulated online in which viewers pointed to what appeared to be an unusual six-fingered hand, leading to suggestions that the clip may have been generated using artificial intelligence.
After the claims spread, Israeli authorities released multiple videos showing Netanyahu meeting officials, speaking publicly and appearing in informal settings. Analysts said the repeated visuals appeared aimed at countering misinformation circulating online.
