Israeli media was forced to remove an interview with Niko Ostroga, a man who claimed he saw 29 of his friends massacred by Hamas on 10/7 at the Nova Electronic Music Fest after he was exposed as a con artist who never attended the event.

His lie was exposed only because he concocted it to extract financial compensation from the Israeli state.

In other cases, Israel has an interest in promoting dubious testimonies, like that of the mysterious Yoni Saadon, who said he witnessed 10 Hamas fighters simultaneously raping a woman with an "angel face" on a field at the same rave Ostroga falsely claimed to have attended.
