Algerian X accounts share «secret document» claiming Moroccan officers «killed in Israel» [Debunked]
On June 22, 2025, an Algerian propaganda account called Algeria Gate on X (formerly Twitter) shared an image claiming to be a «secret» diplomatic telegram from Morocco's liaison office in Tel Aviv. The message alleges that two Moroccan officers were killed and a third seriously wounded in an Iranian bombing of an Israeli military base in northern Israel known as «Meron».
The post also claims these Moroccan soldiers were involved in joint operations with the Israeli military, specifically in intelligence work tied to Unit 8200, Israel's cyber warfare unit.
According to Algeria Gate, this Moroccan military presence is part of a covert security agreement formed after the Abraham Accords in 2020, accusing Morocco of aligning itself militarily with Israeli interests in the region.
A Clear Fake
There are several obvious errors and inconsistencies that seriously call the document's authenticity into question. Moroccan officials have not confirmed or commented on it:
The document shows a red «SECRET» stamp beneath the typed text, something official documents never do. These stamps are always manually applied after printing to ensure they're clearly visible and genuine. This alone proves the document is fake.
The font and formatting don't match Moroccan diplomatic styles, which have strict rules about headers, stamps, and signatures.
No official source, credible media outlet, or independent organization has reported any Iranian strike on the Meron base or casualties among Moroccan officers.
Context: Propaganda War Between Morocco and Algeria
This misinformation comes amid rising tensions and a fierce propaganda war between Moroccan and Algerian accounts on social media:
Just days before this, Moroccan accounts on X spread unconfirmed rumors about Algerian soldiers dying in Iran after Israeli strikes.
This alleged «telegram» from Algeria appears to be a retaliatory disinformation tactic, accusing Morocco of complicity in Israeli military actions.
The Algeria Gate account has a history of spreading false information about Morocco.
Given the lack of evidence, graphic mistakes, and shady source, these claims should be rejected outright.

BCIJ Arrests 21-Year-Old Woman Linked to ISIS Over Foiled Terror Plot
Rabat – Morocco's Central Bureau of Judicial Investigations (BCIJ) has arrested a 21-year-old female student suspected of planning a major terrorist attack, the bureau announced on Friday. The suspect, who was pursuing her studies at a technical institute in Rabat, was taken into custody following precise intelligence provided by the General Directorate for Territorial Surveillance (DGST). She is believed to be affiliated with ISIS and was allegedly preparing an attack that posed a serious threat to public safety. Her primary target, authorities said, was a religious site in Rabat. According to the BCIJ, the arrest was the result of close operational coordination between Moroccan intelligence services and their French counterparts. The joint effort enabled authorities to identify the suspect, monitor her extremist activities, and intervene before her plans could be carried out. Preliminary investigations indicate that the young woman had already begun acquiring skills in making bomb and toxic substances, and had secured materials believed to be intended for use in an imminent terror operation. A search of her residence uncovered flammable substances, extremist writings, and books promoting radical ideologies. The suspect is currently in police custody under anti-terrorism legal procedures. Investigators are working to determine how she was recruited and whether she has links to other terrorist groups or individuals. This arrest is part of the later efforts Morocco continues to make to focus on preemptive security operations amid persistent global and regional terror threats. It also affirms the strong counterterrorism partnership between Morocco and France, particularly in the area of intelligence sharing and joint investigations. On Tuesday, Morocco's Director General of National Security and Territorial Surveillance (DGSN-DGST), Abdellatif Hammouchi, signed a joint action plan with his French counterpart Louis Laugier in Rabat. The agreement establishes a framework for cooperation between Morocco's security services and France's National Police in combating transnational organized crime.

Six Moroccans acquitted of terrorism but still detained in Somalia plead to return home
Six Moroccan nationals, currently held in Garowe Prison in Somalia's Puntland region, have issued a desperate appeal to the Moroccan authorities, urging immediate intervention to end their prolonged detention, despite a final court ruling declaring them innocent of terrorism-related charges. The six young men had traveled to Somalia in hopes of building a better professional future, but instead found themselves caught up in a serious case that led to military court proceedings and initial death sentences. However, the charges were later dropped after it was proven they had been misled by individuals suspected of ties to extremist groups. In a voice message shared by Moroccan newspaper al3omk, one of the detainees described a humanitarian ordeal that extends far beyond their legal nightmare. «We survive on one meal a day, barely edible… we have to wash it with water just to be able to eat it», he said, adding that detention conditions are «catastrophic», with no access to clean drinking water and constant psychological pressure. The detainees stressed that they never entered Somalia with the intent to join any organization. Rather, they were lured by fellow Moroccans with promises of legitimate economic opportunities in a developing region. Upon realizing the deception, and finding themselves in an area known for ISIS activity, they attempted to flee and voluntarily surrendered to the authorities, only to face imprisonment instead of protection. Although their innocence was confirmed by a final court ruling over 18 months ago and a deportation order was issued, they remain behind bars. Puntland authorities attribute the delay in their release to a lack of coordination with the Moroccan government, insisting that their freedom hinges on Morocco's willingness to receive its citizens. The detainees' families had previously submitted a formal complaint to Morocco's Ministry of Foreign Affairs on May 19, expressing deep frustration over their sons' continued imprisonment and calling for urgent diplomatic action to end their ordeal.

Moroccan FAR drone neutralizes Polisario attackers after Es-Semara assault
A new chapter has emerged in the attack carried out by Polisario armed elements on Friday, June 27, targeting civilian areas in Es-Semara. The perpetrators behind the launch of five projectiles did not make it back to the Tindouf camps unscathed. «A Royal Armed Forces (FAR) drone, conducting a routine surveillance mission in the region, immediately tracked the vehicle carrying the Polisario attackers responsible for Friday's strike», a Moroccan security source told Yabiladi. «A missile fired by the unmanned aircraft completely destroyed the vehicle and its occupants. The exact toll of the airstrike, which occurred east of the Sand Wall, has yet to be confirmed». Shortly before the strike, the assailants, traveling in a vehicle, fired five rockets—believed to be of Iranian origin—on the city of Es-Semara. One projectile landed near a MINURSO barracks, but no casualties or material damage were reported.
