Arab News Sites Duped By Israeli's Coronavirus Meme

in Israellycool5 years ago (edited)


Arab news sites Shehab News and Alwatan Voice have posted that Israeli news anchor Yonit Levi appeared on air with a surgical mask. Alwatan claims "She did this act, fearing the spread of coronavirus in Israel, and to educate people about its danger." (hat tip: iTi)


It turns out this never happened; an Israeli tweeter had Photoshopped the mask on to Yonit's face

and on others

Upon being notified of their mistake, Shehab deleted their tweet.

Alas, the Arab news sites really have a terrible track record when it comes to medical news-related posts.
