Altered image shows Las Vegas Sphere displaying Israeli flag. That didn’t happen

The Sphere venue in Las Vegas has an outdoor LED screen that can turn the orb into everything from a giant jack-o’-lantern to a seascape.

But a recent video shared widely on X that appeared to show the Sphere displaying the Israeli flag amid violence in the country was altered.  

"This image was photoshopped," Sphere wrote Oct. 11 on X. 

The venue has been the subject of misinformation before. 

In July, we fact-checked a claim that the Sphere showed a crude message directed at President Joe Biden. That image was also fabricated. 

We rate posts that the Sphere displayed the Israeli flag False.
