  3. Israeli radio reported Muslim leader dead.

As the Los Angeles Times reported, on April 1, 1986, Israel’s state-run radio reported that Lebanese Muslim leader Nabih Berri had been killed. The hoax was planted by an Israeli intelligence officer who then watched it spread to state-run radio and even to then–Defense Minister Yitzhak Rabin. As a joke, it wasn’t much. But as a hoax, it had legs … and consequences. The announcement was broadcast on Lebanese radio stations as well as Israeli ones, which forced a quick retraction and apologies from all sides. The intelligence officer, meanwhile, was threatened with a court-martial (he remains anonymous today). Even after the apologies, spokesmen for Berri condemned the prank and Israel.
