Tehran: In spite of rumours being spread on social media that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has been assassinated, the Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) on Sunday announced that Netanyahu, the ‘child-killing criminal’, would be pursued and killed.

The IRGC has issued their threat on their website Sepah News barely hours after Netanyahu’s office dismissed the assassination rumours and confirmed that the PM was fine.

A video clip posted on the Israeli PM’s ‘X’ page, allegedly showing him with six fingers, gave rise to multiple unverified claims as well as reports that went viral. On the other hand, there were also rumours that the video clip was manipulated or AI-generated.

In addition, the speculations of the Israeli PM’s death were rife as users claimed that Netanyahu’s son Yair hadn't posted anything since March 9 due to a 'family tragedy'.

The AI chatbot of X, Grok, however, revealed the claims and rumours on Netanyahu’s death to be fake and clarified that the video clip on his ‘X’ account was genuine.

Also, a spokesperson from the PMO said that the claims that Netanyahu had been assassinated were false information as the PM was fine.

Chikkaballapur: The bandh called for Sunday by organizations demanding the authorities to undertake third round of purification of water under the HN Valley Project received moderate response from the locals.

Members of the Permanent Irrigation Struggle Committee, pro-Kannada organizations and various farmers’ organizations complained that the state government has taken no decision on the issue related to the project related to the supply of water from the Hebbal-Nagawara lakes of Bengaluru to the lakes in Chikkaballapur.
