A video of an altercation between a group of protesters and the Barcelona police dates to at least 2020, but has been falsely shared as showing attacks by pro-Palestinian protesters on the Spanish city’s police amid the Israel-Hamas war in October 2023. A Facebook user captioned the video posted on Oct. 19: “Breaking: Pro-Palestinian protesters attack police in Barcelona, Spain. A separate video capturing the same incident from a different angle was posted on X on Oct. 30, 2020. Reuters has previously addressed a claim that falsely linked the video to a November 2020 gun attack in Vienna. The video predates the October 2023 Israel-Hamas conflict by years and does not show pro-Palestinian protestors clashing with police in Barcelona.
