In October 2023, a photograph was encircled on the Web, which allegedly captured the Israeli neo -Nazi battalion “Tal Sukhar”. We checked whether this picture is real.
The distributed photo shows more than a dozen men in military uniform, some of which are held by the state flag of Israel and a flag with the symbols of Nazi Germany. It is reported that Tal Sukhar is presented in the picture - a neo -Nazi battalion of the Israeli army.
The picture dispersed through social networks. So, in VKontakte it was placed by publics "Power in truth"(327,000 subscribers; the post is deleted, but the photo was preserved in the album) and"What is the grunts? (Honor)"(The post has more than 1200 likes at 25,000 views), where the photo was commented as follows:“ There is nothing to add! Only one question, did ours do it right when they released Auschwitz? " In Telegram, a picture of the alleged Israeli neo -Nazis published, for example, channels "Bottle"(147,000 views at the time of writing this analysis) and"Alexander Semchenko"(91 000), where the author wrote:" Beautiful photography and a very speaker. " Similar entries are found in social networks X (former Twitter), V Livejournal And on others sites.

If you carefully study the viral photo, then you can see that, unlike the flag of Israel, the Nazi flag seems to be not holding any of the captured men. If you recover the image in the image ("verified" used the service Tineye), you can find an almost identical picture that does not depict Nazi symbolism.
Photos without the flag of Nazi Germany were published in the summer of 2023 on the websites of the largest Israeli media, including The Times of Israel, Newsru.co.il And TV7 israel News. At the same time, it has been clarified on all resources that the picture was provided by the press service of the Israeli Defense Army (IDF). On Facebook*-the Israeli armed forces post with a photograph of interest to us appeared June 5. "These are 12 patrol fighters [reconnaissance battalion of the brigade]"Golani", who will create history and train in Morocco! Yesterday, the first delegation in history went to the international exercises" African Leo ", who take place in Moroccan land and where about 8,000 soldiers from 18 countries took part. We are sure that you will represent us with respect," the publication said. Accordingly, the flags of Israel are shown in the original image and the original image is shown in the original image. unitsThe Golani brigade.

By using Tineye "Verified" discovered Original The image of the Nazi flag - the photo was taken back in 2020 in Australia. Then he was hung with a resident of a small city in Victoria, which caused indignation of the public. It is noteworthy that to create a fake, her author had to mirror the original photograph published by ABC.

In most of the distributed publications, a fake picture is not an independent photo, but a tweet screenshot for October 7, 2023 from the Localhost@Root user (@hy_zrada), in the description of the profile of which indicatedthat he is from Ukraine.
“Verified” studied publications in this account and found several comments about the viral image. So, on October 8, other users wrote to Localhost@Root that he posted a fabricated picture and that it is easy to find out using the Google Lens service. To this is the author answered: “Where have you been to your Google Lens, when for eight years neo -Nazi Israeli detachments bombed Palestine with American biolaboratories?” When he was indicated that he probably had in mind Donetsk, Localhost@Root wrote: "Oh yes, the ancient people of Dramnbas, the predecessor of Palestine." Later in a separate tweet blogger notedthat "yells from how the fools began to fight with Photoshop." However, your true motives are localhost@root, probably opened In another reference: “Just saw what is happening every time the Russians are accused of Ukrainians. Stupid fakes are easy to refute, but brainless people still believe in it. I am glad that tweet has become viral. ”
