Fact Check 

We started our investigation by taking some screenshots from the viral video and conducting a reverse image search. This led us to a tweet on 23 October 2023 which contained the viral video. The tweet read, “Tonight, Gaza witnesses the most aggressive bombardment since October 7, with dozens dying by the hour. Israel has made its plan clear to intensify its attacks on the besieged enclave before proceeding with a ground invasion.”
