However, as we investigated, we came to know that the claim was false. The video is old and unrelated to Operation Sindoor. Here’s the fact check.

Fact Check 

We started our investigation by taking some screenshots from the viral video and conducting a reverse image search. This led us to an Instagram handle, farwawaheedofficial, where a longer version of the video was uploaded on 7 November 2023. Farwa Waheed is an anchor of the Pakistani news channel Express News. Sharing the video, she wrote, “I couldn’t control my tears and emotions .. i know we can’t do anything for the people of palestine (Gaza) Thousand of people have lost their lives, many are struggling to survive and that hurts a lot .. may this brutality end soon ..”
