He stressed that unauthorized filming can negatively affect security, citing a video circulating online about a vehicle fire found to have been caused by an electrical short circuit, not shrapnel. He said rumors are monitored in real time, like the rumor about the Aliyah and Ghaliyah Complex.

He asserted that persistent rumors, such as imposing a partial or total lockdown, are unfounded, indicating a decision on this matter requires a Cabinet meeting. He added the Cybercrime Unit and the State Security Service are closely monitoring all matters related to publishing news or content expressing sympathy for terrorist organizations.
