ISIS never attacked Israel is not accurate. Sources list multiple ISIS attacks on Israel including 2016 Tel Aviv and 2022 Hadera.
- Wrong: Reports say equipment was left due to rapid Afghan forces collapse not as payment.
- No record found: The sources reviewed do not settle whether ISIS never attacked Israel.
- No record found: The sources reviewed do not settle whether ISIS and Al Qaeda are both funded by Israel and America.
- True: Sources confirm roughly seven billion dollars in equipment left behind and taken by Taliban forces.
Checked against: The Washington Institute, Defense One, CNN
Why we say that›
No source backs the claim that ISIS is an Israeli-American proxy or stands for Israeli Secret Intelligence Service.
The equipment figure holds. All other claims on funding, arrests of Mossad agents, congressional testimony and motive for non-attacks rest on zero sources. The reel turns absence of evidence into a secret plan.
Based on only a few sources, so read this as a first look, not the last word.
Equipment left behind is real. No source shows funding, proxy status, Mossad agents released or a motive tying non-attacks to state control.

How the reel gets there
The reel says: “ISIS never attacked Israel”
The record shows: IS officially claimed both attacks (Hadera and Beersheba 2022; earlier Tel Aviv 2016, Sarona 2016).
The Washington Institute
The reel says: “No. It was payment.”
The record shows: All of it fell into the hands of the Taliban. (No evidence of intentional "payment; reports attribute to rapid collapse of Afghan forces and withdrawal logistics).
