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 YouTube channel where a video similar to the viral video was uploaded on 6 June 2024. The caption of the video read, “Palestinian citizen records Israeli shelling of civilian building”

Moving forward, we found the viral video on an Instagram handle of a freelance journalist from Gaza, Ahmed Maqadema. The video was uploaded on 4 June 2024 with the caption,” Occupation aircraft bombed residential buildings in the Bureij refugee camp in the central Gaza Strip.
