Warning: links in this article contain potentially upsetting footage. 

A video shared online falsely claims to show a woman injured by an alleged “Israel” white phosphorus “bomb”.

The clip, which has been reposted on X (formerly Twitter) and is also circulating on Facebook and Instagram, shows a woman wearing a veil with damage to her face and eyes.

A caption with one of the videos says: “This woman is a victim of white phosphorus bombs dropped by Israel.”

However, the footage does not depict what is claimed, and is unrelated to the Israel-Gaza conflict.

Where is the video from?

The footage was originally uploaded to the Instagram page of the Moon Voice…

A post with hundreds of thousands of views on social media, including on X (formerly Twitter) and Facebook, incorrectly claims that a video is of a wave hitting Thailand in 2004, after the Indian Ocean tsunami. The video is actually from 2011 and shows a tsunami striking north-east Japan. 

The video is nearly a minute long, and at first shows a road with a number of cars turning around and driving out of frame. A wave gradually comes into shot, carrying with it a host of debris including cars and houses. 

The post on X says: “This security footage shows the moment the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami hit Khao Lak in Thailand. The disaster went on to claim the lives of an estimated 227,898 people in 14 countries.”

The video compilation [WARNING: graphic images], which has been shared on Facebook, X (formerly Twitter) and TikTok, shows CCTV footage of an explosion in what appears to be different areas of a hospital. 

The video has been shared with the claim it shows Israel attacking a hospital in Gaza during the recent conflict. Multiple posts have the caption: “Israel was CAUGHT on camera BOMBING the Al-Sadaqa HOSPITAL.”

The Al Sadaqa Hospital, which is also known as the Turkish-Palestinian Friendship Hospital, is located in Gaza City and has reportedly closed due to a lack of fuel. It was also reported that medical officials said this…

Multiple social media posts feature a video claiming to show a man using a shoulder-launched ground-to-air missile to shoot down an Israeli helicopter during the recent conflict in Israel and the Gaza Strip. 

The clip, which has been shared hundreds of times across Facebook and X (formerly Twitter) is not of a real event. It has been taken from a military simulation game called Arma 3. 

A higher-quality version of the sequence showing the helicopter being downed was uploaded to YouTube in February 2023, months before the recent hostilities began. 

The description attached to the YouTube video states: “It’s Just a Military Simulation. Not Real life.”

Scenes from Arma 3 have previously been used in misleading claims linked to global conflicts. We’ve written
