True. People have become very gullible these days to online stories and propaganda. And when it comes to issues with regards to hating Islam and the Muslims, such news get all the more ears.
Recently, one such fake news reported at AWD News claimed former Israel Defense Minister Ya'alon stating "Israel Defense Minister: If Pakistan send ground troops into Syria, we will destroy this country with a nuclear attack." The fake news prompted the Pakistan's Defense Minister to tweet "Israeli def min threatens nuclear retaliation presuming pak role in Syria against Daesh. Israel forgets Pakistan is a Nuclear state too AH."
Thankfully, a swift fact-checking was provided by Israel's defence ministry that directly tweeted a clarification to the Pakistani minister.
