The Facebook account named "Al Khattab" published a video yesterday (October 20) showing moments of a missile launch.
This account claims through the caption that the footage shows the launch of a rocket, which is targeting Israel.
But after researching the facts by hibrid.info, it was realized that the video footage is old and, in fact, has nothing to do with the conflict between Israel and Hamas.
Link to the video material published on Facebook by the "Al Khattab" account:
After research conducted through the automated program "InVID", hibrid.info has found that the video material is from 2021 and shows moments of the launch of a missile from Yemen, which was aimed at Riyadh, the capital of Saudi Arabia (see here).
Hibrid.info assesses that the author, based on the current situation in the Middle East, has used the image of a rocket launch, contextualizing it with the Israel-Hamas conflict.
Analyze:
A Facebook account has published a video with a caption claiming to show the launch of a rocket targeting the state of Israel.
But after verification by hibrid.info, it was found that it is an old video, which is related to a missile launch from Yemen to Saudi Arabia, in 2021.
Therefore, based on the working methodology, hibrid.info assesses this content as "Unverified Content".
Reasoning:
The “Unverified” rating is given to those media reports that do not provide sufficient information to confirm the claims made in the report, and which have not been able to confirm the same due to the lack or non-possession of reliable sources.
