A video showing the bombing of a building in Gaza in May 2023 has been shared on social media as if it was filmed during the October 2023 clashes between militant Islamist group Hamas and Israel.
Reuters, citing Palestinian officials, reported that an explosion at a Gaza hospital on Oct. 17 killed at least 500 people.
The video shows a blast destroying a light orange-colored building surrounded by trees that then collapses in a cloud of smoke and dust.
Al Jazeera also shared the video on YouTube on May 13, 2023 and said it shows an attack in Gaza.
The video shows an airstrike on a building in May, not October, 2023.
