07:19No, Dutch police have not arrested Israelis for war crimes.
07:26Photos shared on social media alleged that Israeli military personnel have been arrested by Dutch police in the Netherlands on charges related to war crimes.

07:38Captions shared alongside the photo state Dutch police hold in Israeli officer Yukal Yulita while she vacationed in Europe.
07:45User state she was accused of war crimes in Rafa.
07:48Another photo claims to show Dutch police arresting Israeli Major General Shitan Shao, commander of the armored corps, reportedly on the same charges.
07:57However, in both cases, the pictures show the arrest of other people and in other countries.
08:02The image of the woman being arrested in fact dates back to August 2016.
08:07A reverse image search found the image was shared by British tabloid The Daily Mail in an article on partygoers being arrested by police in Newcastle.

09:29The Karuna Church, a Lutheran church, will roll to its new home over two days at the pace of just half a kilometre per hour.
09:38It's being moved as a nearby mine is expanding deeper underground, causing residents to see cracks in the buildings and roads.
09:46Officials have moved numerous buildings to a new downtown at a safe distance from the mine.

10:10No, Trump didn't slam the Irish government over immigration.
10:14A false video is circulating on social media, which purportedly shows US President Donald Trump berating the Irish government for its immigration policy.
10:29The video appears to show Trump blasting Taoiseach Micheál Martin and Tornishta Simon Harris as weak and useless leaders who have supposedly allowed their country to be invaded by criminals.
10:40That is evil.
10:43The video has been shared thousands of times on Facebook, but the speech never happened.
10:47The footage of the press conference itself is real and can be traced back using a reverse image search to a legitimate announcement by Trump about Apple's $600 billion investment in the US.
11:00However, in the false video, Trump's voice appears to be AI generated.
11:04It sounds robotic and doesn't sync with his lip movements.
11:07Let's take another listen.
11:08You have done nothing to prevent and deter illegal immigration by economic migrants and are happy to sacrifice the safety of women and children for subserviency.
11:20Nowhere in the real speech did Trump mention Ireland, Martin or Harris.
11:24The fake speech, however, is riddled with misinformation about immigration in Ireland, such as false claims about social housing being given to asylum seekers over Irish citizens.
11:35In reality, applicants for asylum are placed in a separate system to social housing.
11:40If they are given permission to remain, they can apply for social housing on the same basis as an Irish citizen.
11:46green
11:49And there are also no means to execute the constitutionalism in the first dubld.
11:53And after the coração ofשlugeמ look like falsehood was able to wait for men.
11:55I hope it doesn't apply for all of us, but there are no knowingatoire signs you need to be城 That means, it becomes drill a bit is cultivation.
11:57It's very easy for us.
11:59It is a small movement, which also fits together, in one direction which allows us to work on people's Himself.
