Claim: Tweets by Bollywood actors Sonu Sood and Swara Bhasker in support of Hamas militant group.

Fact: The tweet thread shared in the post is a digitally created one. Hamas militant group has no official handle on Twitter or any other social media site. The tweets in the image were not made by Bollywood actors Sonu Sood and Swara Bhaskar. Sonu Sood had never announced such military help to Hamas militant group. Hence, the claim made in the post is FALSE.

On searching for the official handle of the Hamas militant group on Twitter, it is found out that Hamas militant group has no official handle on Twitter. We could not find a Twitter account with the username (@Death_To_Juice) mentioned in the post. When we searched for the other tweets displayed in the screenshot, it is found out that Bollywood actors Sonu Sood and Swara Bhasker had not made such tweets on their official Twitter handles. Also, the usernames mentioned in the screenshot are not the official Twitter handles usernames of Sonu Sood and Swara Bhasker.

Sonu Sood had never announced any such military help to Hamas militant group for their fight against the Israel forces. If Sonu Sood had announced such help to the Hamas militant group, several news websites would have published articles by now. But, we could not find any news article reporting such information. From all these pieces of evidence, it can be concluded that the screenshot shared in the post is a digitally created one.

To sum it up, the purported tweet thread of Sonu Sood promising Rafale jets to Hamas militant group is digitally created one.
