Date:

A video is being shared on social media claiming US forces shooting Islamic terrorists from a two-kilometer distance.

“अमेरिकन सैनिको ने 2 किलोमीटर की दूरी से उड़ाए इस्लामिक जिहादियो के सर
मज़ेदार वीडियो देखें 🚩👇” the caption read. 

At the time of filing the report, the above post had more than 16,000 shares on Facebook.

The video was shared extensively on Facebook.

FACT CHECK

When NewsMobile fact-checked the video, we found the claim to be FAKE.

On watching the video closely, we notice the words, ‘Move W to zoom in and S to Zoom out’, ‘Press and hold left shift to hold breath and steady aim’ and ‘ hunt and kill cramped enemies’ written on the top of the video.

On putting the images through Reverse Image Search, we found that it is a video game called ‘Medal of Honor’. A game released by Electronic Arts (EA) in 2010.

We found the same video on YouTube, uploaded on Oct 12, 2010. “Medal Of Honor 2010 – Sniping & Thermal Scope Gameplay [FULLHD]” the title read.

The above information proves that the viral video is a clip of a video game demonstration and is NOT REAL. Hence, the claim attached to the video is FAKE.
