FACT CHECK
NewsMobile fact-checked the above claim and found it to be misleading.
We broke the video into several keyframes and did a reverse image search with one of the keyframes. We found that the same video was published on a YouTube channel on August 16, 2014.
The same video was also published by another YouTube channel on July 21, 2014, with the title, “Bombing a civilian house in Gaza.”
A screenshot of the image was also published on a blog about ‘What are inert bombs?’ The blog was posted on August 25, 2014. According to the blog, Israel bombed a house with an inert bomb (aerial munitions filled with wet sand or cement and used for training purposes) and not the actual one.
Hebrew website Srugim.co.il says that the house occupants were informed beforehand about the bomb and they had evacuated the house and were waiting with cameras for the bombing of the Air Force.
Thus, it is clear from the above information that an old video is being shared as that of recent Israel-Palestine conflict.
