Gaza war footage is wrongly related to Kashmir attack

India and Pakistan have traded gunfires on their borders almost every night since the gunmen killed 26 people in Kashmir, India-managed by India on April 22, 2025. However, the gunmen killed Kashmir in Kashmir on April 22, 2025. However, a videotape has nothing to do with the attack, and in fact shows Israel's air strike near Gagasa Hospital in November 2023.

The April 30 Facebook post shared a video about people fleeing air strikes, including the logo of broadcaster Al Jazeera.

The gunman killed 26 people in Pahalgam, India-managed Kashmir, on April 22, a incident that authorities described as a “terrorist attack” and the worst attack on civilians over the years (archive).

Relations between nuclear-weapon neighbors plummeted after India accused Pakistan of supporting the attack. Pakistan denied any role and called New Delhi’s claim “flippant” (archived link).

Indian troops said their troops had exchanged shooting facts with Pakistani soldiers, exchanging along the de facto Kashmir border with Kashmir, which has been held every night since April 24.

Screenshots of the screenshot were taken on May 1, 2025

The video, shared on Facebook, X and elsewhere on Instagram, claims that the video portrays India's attack on Pakistan.

However, the video predated the Kashmir attack and was circulated in old reports about Israel's war on Hamas in Gaza.

A reverse image search on Google found that the footage used in a longer report was used after the Indonesian hospitals posted on Al Jazeera’s YouTube channel on November 9, 2023 (archive link).

Part of the video description says: “The Palestinian Ministry of the Interior has reported 'many harm' among thousands of displaced people.

The same shot can be seen on the report's 5:06-MARK.

AFP published a similar strike footage on YouTube on November 9, 2023, titled “Strike in the strike area near the Beit Lahia Indonesian Hospital in Gaza” (link to archive).

The attacks around the hospital damaged the house and left Beit Lahia's Indonesian hospital. The hospital was built with donations from NGOs and is one of the last remaining hospitals in Gaza (archived here and here).

A week before the attack, the Israeli military claimed that Hamas was using the hospital's “hidden underground command and control center” (a link to archive).

After a two-month truce in early 2025, Israel resumed its military offensive in Gaza in the war with Hamas on March 18, triggered by the Palestinian militant group on October 7, 2023, an attack on October 7, 2023 (a saved link).

The Gaza Ministry of Health, which operates in Hamas on Sunday, said at least 2,436 people have been killed since Israel resumed its campaign in Gaza, bringing the overall death toll of the war to 52,535.

According to official figures, the Hamas attack killed 1,218 people on the Israeli side, mainly civilians.

The militants also kidnapped 251 people, 58 of which are still held in Gaza, including 34 of which the Israeli military said were dead.

AFP debunked other false claims related to the Pahargam attack.

On May 5, 2025, the word “person” was added after the age of 26 was adjusted in the summary
