| <span class="sb-label">Why it matters</span> | |
| During extreme climate events, decontextualized videos amplify fear | |
| and saturate emergency services. Verifying quickly and publishing | |
| the chain of origin is the first line of defense. | |
| </div> | |
| <p style="font-size:17px;line-height:1.7;margin-bottom:18px;"> | |
| The video, first posted on Tuesday at 9:17 PM, shows submerged | |
| streets presented as filmed "tonight in Tunis." Within 90 minutes, | |
| the clip had been picked up by five pan-Arab accounts totaling 4.2 | |
| million followers. Our team began analysis at 10:04 PM. | |
| </p> | |
| <div class="sb-box big"> | |
| <span class="sb-label">The big picture</span> | |
| Three key shots — out of the twelve in the video — come from a | |
| separate flood event in Bab Bhar, in September 2018. Two new shots | |
| were authenticated in Manouba this morning, around 6:12 AM. | |
| </div> | |
| <h2 class="font-serif" style="font-size:30px;margin:30px 0 14px;">What our modules found</h2> | |
| <ul class="sb-bullets"> | |
| <li><strong>Image–Caption Coherence</strong> noted a 3,200 K luminance | |
| shift between shots 4–7 and the rest: the classic signature of | |
| nighttime archive footage re-injected into a daytime video.</li> | |
| <li><strong>Edited Photo Detection</strong> isolated two added objects — | |
| a road sign and a pharmacy sign — overlaid on 2018 frames.</li> | |
| <li>The <strong>EXIF metadata</strong> was stripped on the viral | |
| version, but the version posted 16 minutes earlier by another | |
| account still carries a timestamp dated <strong>September 14, 2018</strong>.</li> | |
| <li>By contrast, two shots (8 and 11) are <strong>authentic and unpublished</strong>: | |
| they correspond to a local flood event that occurred this morning in Manouba.</li> | |
| </ul> | |
| <h2 class="font-serif" style="font-size:30px;margin:30px 0 14px;">How we established this</h2> | |
| <p style="font-size:17px;line-height:1.7;margin-bottom:18px;"> | |
| The Verify verification process combines a reverse image search | |
| (Yandex, TinEye, Google Lens) with our own visual analyses. For this | |
| video, the first archived match was found in 4 minutes via TinEye | |
| on frame 156. It pointed to a Mosaïque FM article published on | |
| September 15, 2018. | |
| </p> | |
| <p style="font-size:17px;line-height:1.7;margin-bottom:18px;"> | |
| Once the source was identified, our analysts aligned each shot of | |
| the viral video with the original archive, shot by shot. Shots 8 | |
| and 11 produced no match: they were then submitted to AI-Generated | |
| Media Detection, which returned a confidence score > 92% in | |
| favor of authenticity. | |
| </p> | |
| <div class="sb-box next"> | |
| <span class="sb-label">What's next</span> | |
| Our newsroom is opening an investigation into the Telegram channels | |
| that first posted the video, and into the modus operandi — the same | |
| archived shots were used last March for a false alert in Sfax. | |
| Results expected on May 5. | |

| The stakes go beyond this one case. Over the past seven days, | |
| Verify processed 421 user-flagged contents. 38% were marked as | |
| manipulated, 17% as out of context. The rest — the majority — | |
| is authentic: verification isn't just about debunking, it's also | |
| about confirming. | |
