Accounts on X published a video clip showing a car burning on the road, claiming that the video was recently taken in Netanya. The video was accompanied by the following text: “A car exploded in the Netanya settlement in the occupied interior [occupied Palestine – Israel]”.
Kashif verified the video via reverse search on Google, and found that it’s old and the claim is misleading. The video shows a car burning in Kazakhstan, not in Netanya. An account named @rabigadyusengulova877 posted the video on YouTube on 4 June 2023, with the following description: “A Land Cruiser caught fire while moving in Almaty”.
Tengrinews website also published on 4 June 2023 that the video dates back to the incident of a 2003 Toyota Land Cruiser burning, which occurred on the night of 3rd June 2023 at the intersection of Al-Farabi and Ruzibakyev Streets in Kazakhstan.
The circulation of this video comes with the spread of a video of a vehicle exploding near the police station in the city of Acre, seriously injuring a young man and a child with minor injuries on 13 August 2024.
A vehicle exploded in the city of Ramla on 12 September 2024, killing 4 people and wounding 8 others.
163 Arab citizens have been killed since the beginning of this year in Israel.
