A video of multiple parachutists landing at a crowded sports venue in Egypt has been misrepresented on social media as showing attackers of the militant Islamist group Hamas landing in Israel. The video dates to at least September 2023 and is not related to the Oct. 7 attack on Israel. The Palestinian Islamist group Hamas carried out its biggest attack on Israel in years on Oct. 7, killing an estimated 900 Israelis. A sports center named El-Nasr Sporting Club can be seen in the Heliopolis area of Cairo, Egypt, on Google Maps. The video shared online shows events in Egypt, not Israel, that predate the October 2023 attack on Israel.
