A recent report by TinEye and HumAngle has shown that old, foreign and misleading pictures are being used to depict recent military raids on insurgents.
The Nigerian military reported that they recently raided an enclave of Boko Haram terrorists inside the Sambisa Forest, seizing ammunition and religious books and burning the structures.
However, after investigating the pictures that accompanied most of the report using the reverse image search tool, the publication found that the aerial shot of a burning building located in a desert land first appeared on the internet in March 2018.

That s also the night, says History, that the world and particularly, Europe s Jewish population realized just how serious Adolf Hitler was. It wasn t about rules and restrictions anymore, it was about violence.
