The Albanian-language Facebook page "The Reis" published a video yesterday (October 23) claiming that the footage shows the bombing of a water tank, near which several children are seen.
Based on the posts this page has made in recent days, it is implied that it has claimed that the video shows Israeli bombings, shooting at Palestinian children near a water tank.
After fact-checking conducted by hibrid.info, it has been confirmed that the video was shot in Sudan and shows footage of a drone attack by the Sudanese military against the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces.

The original caption of the video material published on Facebook by the page "The Reis":
What does it mean to shoot children who gather at a water tank to get drinking water? What law of war and humanity does this fit into? If these children were Westerners, the world would be shocked.
After research conducted through the automated program “InVID”, hibrid.info has managed to find the video material published by the Sudanese website “Sudanakhbar.com”, whose article clarifies that the footage documents a Sudanese army drone targeting a fuel tanker belonging to the Rapid Support Forces in the capital, Khartoum.
