Viral social media posts claiming that Iddo Netanyahu, brother of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, died in an Iranian missile strike on his Tel Aviv home alongside injuries to National Security Minister Itamar Ben‑Gvir have been debunked as a hoax. No official Israeli sources or credible news outlets report any such attack on either man as of March 10, 2026, and fact‑checking organisations find no evidence to support the claims.
