A video was widely shared on social media with the claim, “In Gaza again… targeting a group of civilians while filling water to drink, coward Zionists with all their power dropping bombs on innocent people and take pride in filming and publishing it.”
The claim: Israel targeted a group of civilians while filling water to drink in Gaza.
The Correction: The video by a Sudanese army drone targeting a fuel tanker of the Rapid Support Forces in Khartoum.
Kashif verified the claim and found it to be untrue. Using the reverse search tool and public sources, it found that the Al Jazeera – Sudan page had broadcast a video clip on 10 December 2023 title, “A Sudanese army march bombed a fuel tanker belonging to the Rapid Support Forces in Khartoum.”
The Gaza Strip is going through a water, food and fuel crisis after the Israeli occupation cut water, fuel and food since the beginning of the aggression, with water networks damaged. UNRWA Commissioner-General Philippe Lazzarini said that water in the Gaza Strip has become a matter of life and death, and it is necessary for fuel to be delivered to Gaza to provide water for two million people.
