Elon Musk's X has struggled to contain false information about the Israel-Gaza conflict. Part of the issue is the spread of unverified videos and content that were first posted on Telegram. The fighting between Israel and Hamas isn't, of course, the first instance of a conflict to be followed via Telegram. Videos and details about an ongoing conflict often make their way to a platform like X from Telegram — and do so without their source being identified or verified. X users will share Telegram videos, often without context, to fit their narrative or suit some other ulterior motive.
