The sudden reappearance of Mira Jalal Thabat, after several days of being missing, brought the term "captivity" back to the center of public discourse in Syria. Her return, marked by a tense demeanor and unfamiliar religious attire, set the stage for a flood of conflicting claims across social media. The absence of her own personal account in the early hours of her reappearance allowed the narrative to spiral out of control, turning her story into more than just an individual tragedy. It became a symbolic tool, injected into a polarized social climate, invoking the history of extremist groups to fuel fear and division.

Social media users recently circulated a false claim alleging that UN Special Envoy to Syria Geir Pedersen accused the Syrian Ministry of Defense of overseeing massacres in the coastal region.

Verify-sy has detected renewed activity from a digital campaign previously used by the ousted Bashar al-Assad regime.

Arab news websites claimed that Asma al-Assad, the wife of ousted Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, spoke for the first time after the regime's fall and "broke her silence," based on posts published via an account on X (formerly Twitter) bearing the name and photo of Asma al-Assad. However, this claim is misleading, as it was found that the mentioned account is fake and was promoted by a fraudulent channel under the name of Hafez, the son of Bashar al-Assad.
