What's the truth?: This video predates the ongoing war between Hamas and Israel.

• The video has been on the internet since 2020.

How did we find out the truth?: We performed reverse image search on some of the keyframe of the viral video and came across a post of X (formerly Twitter) carrying the same video.

• The post was from 3 February 2020 and it states that it shows Turkish forces retaliating against the Assad regime Syria.

• We also found a YouTube video from 28 February 2020 which also links the clip with Syria.

Old reports: We found reports about an airstrike in Syria's Idlib province where 33 Turkish soldiers were killed on the night of 27 February 2020.

Although we haven't been able to independently confirm the location or the context of the video, it is clear that the clip is old and unrelated to Israel-Hamas war.
