Viral claims on Netanyahu’s brother killed in Iran strike found false
Tel Aviv/Tehran: Social media platforms have been flooded with unverified claims alleging that an Iranian air strike in Tel Aviv killed Iddo Netanyahu, brother of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and injured Israel’s National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir after his residence was purportedly set ablaze.
However, there is no official confirmation or credible report to substantiate these claims. No Israeli authority has reported any strike on Ben-Gvir’s residence in Tel Aviv. There has not been any confirmation of an attack involving Iddo Netanyahu, as reported by Hindustan Times.
Several posts circulating online have further alleged that Israeli media attempted to conceal Ben-Gvir’s supposed injuries from an air strike by attributing them to a car accident. A assessment of existing information and resources reveals no proof for these statements.
The rumors stemmed from a road accident in Ramle, Israel, in April 2024. Ben-Gvir's vehicle apparently crossed a red light and crashed with another car, causing it to overturn. He, his daughter and the driver sustained minor injuries in that incident. There have been no reports of any recent accident involving the minister.
Authorities have not issued any statement corroborating the viral claims regarding Ben-Gvir or Iddo Netanyahu.

KKR defeat LSG via Super Over
Lucknow (PTI): Kolkata Knight Riders edged Lucknow Super Giants via Super Overs in a battle between two bottom-placed teams in the IPL, here on Sunday.
Chasing a modest 156, LSG suffered a batting collapse and managed to tie the contest and take it to Super Over with No. 9 Mohammed Shami striking a last-ball six against a wayward Kartik Tyagi, who leaked 16 runs in the final over.
But Sunil Narine bowled a stunning Super Over conceding just one run and taking two wickets to give KKR an easy target.
Rinku Singh then finished the chase with a boundary off first ball from Prince Yadav.
Earlier the KKR were in deep trouble with 93/7 in 15 overs but Rinku smashed a sensational 83 not out from 51 balls including four sixes in a row in the final over to lift them to 155/7.
Cameron Green (34) was the only other batter to reach double-digit scores as KKR suffered a familiar batting meltdown with Mohsin taking his maiden fifer.
In reply, LSG continued their dismal show with the bat to succumb to their fifth loss in a row.
Brief Scores:
Kolkata Knight Riders 155/7; 20 overs (Rinku Singh 83 not out, Cameron Green 34; Mohsin Khan 5/23). Lucknow Super Giants 155/8; 20 overs (Rishabh Pant 42). KKR won via Super Over.
