FACT CHECK
NewsMobile fact-checked the viral post, and found it to be false.
Running a Reverse Image Search of the video keyframes, the NM team identified an Instagram post, dated August 11, 2023, published on a page, jeddahnow.sa — a media company from Saudi Arabia. The Instagram video matches exactly with the viral clip, and as per its description, the incident happened at a shopping centre in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.
One of the comments under the post states that the incident happened at Flamingo Mall, 70th Street, in Jeddah. Conducting a Google Keyword Search, our team traced an online article titled: شاهد.. تزاحم وفوضى داخل مركز تجاري جديد في جدة.. وفتاة تقف على الأرفف (English translation: Watch… crowding and chaos inside a new mall in Jeddah… and a girl standing on the shelves) published on the website of Al Marsd — a Saudi digital newspaper.
The contents and images in the article match with the keyframes from the viral clip, confirming that the incident happened in Jeddah. There was no mention of Europe anywhere in the entire article.
Therefore, we can conclusively say that the viral video’s claim that Muslims looted a shopping mall in Europe is false.
