I think it may have been removed (because I can’t find it) but I think there was a thread here in the past few days of a US helicopter “accidentally crashing” in Gaza or thereabouts. People here drew a parallel to Operation Eagle Claw in 1980 which was a hostage rescue attempt that didn’t go well. But this recent event (if it happened) seems to have been disappeared.

Do you mean this? That thread was pulled. "Wrong per original poster."

That incident happened June 11 in Syria, not recently in Israel. Smart-aleck twitter/X users reposted the story by misrepresenting the time and place to put it in Israel two days on the 22nd.

My rule of thumb is never trust anything on Twitter/X, or from one of too many cookie cutter click bait news sites, without checking other sources.
