Published on March 5, 2026.
A video showing passengers fleeing an airplane that caught fire in Denver, Colorado, was mistakenly mistaken for an Iranian attack on Israel's Ben Gurion airport. The incident occurred shortly after Iran's Supreme Leader was killed in U.S. and Israeli strikes, and Iran responded with retaliatory strikes. A spokesperson for the Israel Airports Authority stated that these claims were "completely false".
