The Albanian-language Facebook page "The Reis" has published a video whose caption reads: "The joy of Palestinians in the courtyard of the al-Aqsa Mosque when they heard the news of Iran's attack on Israel."
Fact checker from Spain "Damn.es"They have verified the same video material, but published in foreign languages, where it has been confirmed that it is old.
The video was made on April 6, when around 120 people flocked to the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound in the last days of the month of Ramadan.
Meanwhile, on the evening of April 13, Iran launched a series of drones and missiles launched from Iran towards Israel. (here)

BBC Verify journalist Shayan Sardarizadeh, on his X (formerly Twitter) account, clarified that the footage shown in the video does not show Palestinians' "joy" over Iran's attack on Israel. (see here)
Journalist Sardarizadeh's post, translated into Albanian:
This video, viewed nearly 400,000 times, falsely claims to show Palestinians at Al-Aqsa Mosque celebrating Iranian retaliatory attacks against Israel tonight.
The video is from last week and shows Palestinians praying at Al-Aqsa on the last Friday of Ramadan.
Analyze:
The website "The Reis" has published a video dated April 6, when Palestinians gathered at the Al-Aqsa Mosque for the Night of Power.
Through this video, the aforementioned site falsely claims that the footage depicts the "joy" of Palestinians after hearing about Iran's attack on Israel, an event that occurred on the evening of April 13.
