The claims made in the tweet about a Hamas video threatening the Paris Olympics appear to be part of a disinformation campaign. According to multiple sources, including NBC News and The JC, the video is suspected to be a fabrication linked to Russian disinformation efforts. Researchers from Microsoft's Threat Analysis Center have identified the video as likely originating from a Russian group known as Storm-1516, which has a history of creating similar fake videos. Hamas has officially denied any connection to the video, labeling it as Israeli propaganda aimed at defaming the Palestinian resistance, as reported by A News. Therefore, the video and its threats should be viewed with skepticism, as it is part of a broader strategy to incite fear and disrupt the Paris Olympics.
