## Caption

As the war between Israel and Hamas intensifies, misinformation is targeting internet users abroad. Reuters takes a look at some falsehoods circulating widely on social media.
 
U.S. President Joe Biden did not call for military conscription in the United States in response to the Israel-Hamas conflict in October 2023, as suggested by an AI-generated video shared on social media.
 
The fabricated clip shows Biden speaking at a podium, saying that he is invoking the Selective Service Act, adding: “Remember, you are not sending your sons and daughters to war. You are sending them to freedom.” However, the video is not only fake, but a longer version of it predates the October conflict.
 
At the same time, the Reuters Fact Check team debunks another false claim online that an Iranian aircraft attacked Israel. A video with over 2 million views on TikTok is actually a doctored-up clip of the US Thunderbirds rehearsing for an airshow in Houston.
