In the aftermath of Turkish shooter Yusuf Dikec's unexpected rise to internet fame for his relaxed style at the Paris Olympics 2024, another striking image emerged online, quickly captivating social media users.
The photograph, which seemingly depicted a man aiming at a target behind him while looking into a mirror, was lauded as a display of extraordinary skill.
Many quickly dubbed the unidentified shooter as a "new legend" and speculated about his participation in the ongoing Olympics.
However, the excitement was short-lived as investigations revealed the viral photograph to be a clever fabrication.
The image, which was circulating with claims of being from the Paris Olympics, was actually a product of Photoshop.
The man in the picture is not an Olympic marksman but rather Pongsak Pongsuwan, a well-known actor and comedian from Thailand.
The image was a still from the popular Thai game show "Ching Roi Ching Lan," where Pongsuwan had performed a comedic skit.
The background of the Paris Olympics was added to the image, misleading many into believing it was a real event.

In a daring escalation of its drone campaign, Ukraine launched a strike on the Kuzmino-Gat gunpowder factory in Tambov Oblast, a critical node in Russia's military-industrial complex. Russian authorities claimed their defenses intercepted 27 drones across multiple regions, but questions linger about the effectiveness of the attack.
Eyewitnesses in Kotovsk reported hearing drones overhead before the strike, with Ukrainian officials identifying the facility as a key producer of gunpowder for weapons and explosives. While Russia reported no casualties and only minor damage to a nearby house, the attack has raised concerns about vulnerabilities deep within its territory.

Israeli officials have warned of a growing threat from Turkey's increasing support for Syrian factions, especially following Turkey’s strategic ambitions in the Middle East. The Nagel Commission report emphasizes that this could become an even greater risk to Israel than the ongoing concerns with Iran. Israel’s defense strategy is shifting, with recommendations to boost offensive military capabilities and allocate a larger defense budget. This evolving situation reflects broader regional instability, exacerbated by Turkey’s involvement and recent developments in Syria.
