Hezbollah media use old unrelated footage to back Houthis’ claims of successful Red Sea attacks.
A Houthi follower carries a mock rocket in Sanaa on January 29, 2024, to show support for Houthi strikes on ships in the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden, as well as solidarity with the Palestinians. Media linked to the Lebanon-based Shiite Islamist party and militant group Hezbollah appear to be behind a social media drive to hype the threat of Yemen’s Iran-backed Houthi rebels attacks in the Red Sea.
On January 29, that same footage started circulating on social media, with users repeating the Islam Times headline.“BREAKING #HOUTHIS remain Undefeated !! US admits its failure to stop houthis. They are amazed, shocked by houthis target another ship belong to UK.” Over on TikTok, user tadek2023 posted a picture of a burning vessel – a screenshot from the same video published by Islam Times.“Yemini naval forces have launched appropriate naval missiles at the U.S. destroyer ‘USS Gravely’ in the Red Sea.”
That report said not a single fact-checking organization surveyed considers X “to take disinformation seriously.”
