Is this a video of a mosque destroyed by Israelites during the current war with Palestine? Know the truth

A few days back, Hamas terrorists infiltrated Israel and killed citizens and army personnel. In response to this, Israel struck back the Gaza strip with rockets that destroyed many infrastructures in the region. 

Against this backdrop, a video of a mosque being destroyed is going viral on social media. It can be seen in the video that while prayer was going on in the mosque, an explosion took place that demolished the mosque. Users are claiming that this mosque in Palestine was destroyed by Israelites during the current war. 

However, Fact Crescendo found that the claim was shared without proper context. This is an old video from Syria and has no connection with the current Israel-Palestine war.

Fact Check- 

A Google Reverse Image Search on a keyframe of the viral video led us to the image of the same mosque/shrine published on a website in 2014. According to the report, this is an image of Uwais Qurani Shrine which was destroyed by terrorists with the support of Turkey. 

A relevant keyword search on YouTube, we found the same video uploaded on a channel on 8 June 2014. According to the information provided, this is Uwais Al-Qurani mosque which was destroyed by ISIS. 

We located this mosque with the help of Google Maps. We found out that Uwais Al-Qurani was located in Syria. Below you can see the location. 

There were several videos at the time that showed Islamic State militants demolishing or destroying ancient archeological sites in Iraq and Syria. Mint has also produced a YouTube video on the subject in which the viral video is also present. See link for more information.

Conclusion: 

Fact Crescendo found that the claim was shared without proper context. This is an old video from Syria where the Uwais Al-Qurani mosque was destroyed by ISIS in 2014. This video has no connection with the ongoing Israel-Palestine war.
