Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez said Russia and Israel spread and amplified disinformation during the large influx of migrants into Ceuta last month, according to Reuters.

Thousands of migrants crossed illegally from Morocco into the small Spanish territory on July 30 and 31. Sánchez said the episode involved false or misleading information about Spain’s migration policy.

The movement created concern across the European Union because Ceuta is one of only two EU land borders with Africa. Local authorities in Ceuta said at least 100 people died while attempting to cross the border.

The same news compilation also carried domestic reports from Denmark, including a warning of heavy rain, a 10-year prison sentence for a man who monitored a cocaine transport, and criticism involving tax demands and compensation for drug injuries.

Russia and Israel both spread and amplified disinformation in connection with the large influx of migrants to Spain’s North African enclave of Ceuta last month.
