Fact Check- 

In order to check every clip in the viral video, we broke down it and performed Google reverse image search on the key-frames of it. Here’s what we found:

Clip 1

Turkish news website called “Haberler” reported on 9 August 2018 that this video is from Gaza Strip when Israel fighter jets carried out an airstrike. 

Clip 2

Clip 1 and 2 can be seen in the following tweet from 2018 which claimed that this was an attack carried out by Israel.

Clip 3, 4 and 5

In a few frames, we noticed letters ‘DWC’ are written.

Taking a clue from it, we came across a YouTube channel called ‘Darth Welder Channel’

In this channel, a video was uploaded on 7 August 2018 in which a portion of the viral clip can be seen. 

Visual 6

On 14 March 2016, Mail Online News reported that the visual was from Aleppo, Syria which was bombarded with barrel bombs. 

Schools, hospitals, and civilian homes were targeted in this attack.
