Israeli media have rejected circulating rumors that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was injured or killed during the ongoing Israel-Iran conflict. The speculation originated from a Monday report by Iran’s Tasnim News Agency, which offered no direct evidence or official confirmation. The report relied on indirect indicators such as the absence of recent video appearances, increased security near Netanyahu’s residence, and postponed visits by foreign envoys.

Tasnim, known to be close to Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, stated that the claims had neither been confirmed nor denied by any government source. Israeli outlets pointed out that Netanyahu’s office released an official statement on March 7 and that he was listed as having visited Beersheba on March 6. Independent reports also noted his recent phone call with French President Emmanuel Macron, as reported by the Jerusalem Post on March 5.

As of Monday evening, no credible official source had verified Tasnim’s claims. Israeli media emphasized that the absence of new footage or changes in official schedules during wartime often fuels unfounded conspiracy theories rather than confirming any attack or injury.
