Old video of Israel’s airstrike on Hamas shared as India’s missile attack on Pakistan

The Indian military launched “Operation Sindoor” in response to the recent terrorist attack in Pahalgam. As part of the operation, Indian armed forces carried out missile strikes on nine terror locations in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir.

Following this, several videos started circulating on social media, claiming to show footage of the strike.

Fact Crescendo received several requests to verify such clips through its WhatsApp Tipline (9049053770).

WHAT’S THE CLAIM?

A viral video shows a night-time explosion with people running for cover.

Many users shared it as a clip of India’s missile strike on Pakistan.

FACT-CHECK

A reverse image search showed that Al Jazeera had posted the same video on its official YouTube and Facebook pages on 9 November 2023.
The caption stated: “Violent airstrikes occurred near an Indonesian hospital in the northern Gaza Strip.”

On 9 November 2023, Israeli airstrikes hit multiple hospitals in Gaza, including the Indonesian Hospital, Al-Rantisi Children’s Hospital, and Al-Shifa Medical Complex. 

These strikes led to civilian casualties and severe damage to medical facilities.

They were part of Israel’s ongoing military action against Hamas. You can read more related information here, here and here.

CONCLUSION

The viral video does not show India’s Operation Sindoor. It is from November 2023 and captures an Israeli airstrike on Hamas in Gaza. Sharing it as an Indian missile attack is misleading.
