Israel Hamas war
“The Cost of One Pakistani Soldier…”
Amid the ongoing Israel-Hamas conflict, a sensational report has gone viral on social media claiming that Israel had made a deal with Pakistan to deploy its soldiers in Gaza to eliminate Hamas. The story, which mentioned “the cost of one Pakistani soldier,” has been found to be completely fabricated and has been officially denied by both countries.
According to the viral post, a Pakistani journalist alleged that Army Chief General Asim Munir demanded USD 10,000 per soldier for deployment in Gaza, while Israel allegedly offered only USD 100 per soldier. The rumor quickly spread across social media and some unverified websites, sparking outrage and confusion.
However, Pakistan’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Defence Ministry promptly dismissed the report, clarifying that no such deal or deployment plan exists. Israeli authorities have also denied any communication or agreement involving Pakistani troops.
Experts have pointed out that such claims are typical of wartime misinformation and propaganda, designed to create political tension and mislead the public. The episode highlights how fake news spreads rapidly in conflict situations, especially when emotions run high and reliable information is limited.
Meanwhile, the war in Gaza continues, with the United Nations urging for increased humanitarian aid. Israel maintains that its operations are solely targeting Hamas strongholds, not civilians.
The viral story serves as a reminder of the importance of verifying news sources before sharing, particularly during international crises where false narratives can fuel further instability.
