An October 13 Facebook post claimed that Israel Defense Forces Chief of Staff Herzi Halevi was killed in a Hezbollah drone attack, showing a photo with a red X and red dot on his forehead. The post gained significant traction before being deleted, with similar claims shared on Twitter. However, the claim is false as Halevi was not killed in the drone attack. He was seen making a public appearance the day after the attack. Hezbollah did launch drones at an Israeli military base, killing four soldiers and injuring 61, but Halevi was not among the casualties. The IDF shared photos of Halevi visiting the base the day after the alleged assassination. The post’s author did not provide evidence to support the claim when contacted by USA TODAY, and other media outlets also debunked the false information. The claim was based on misinformation and speculation, further highlighting the importance of fact-checking and verifying sources before sharing information.
