FACT CHECK
NewsMobile fact-checked the post, and found that the video is being shared with a false claim.
We extracted the keyframes of the video and put them through a Reverse Image Search. The search led us to the same video which was uploaded on YouTube in November 2019. According to the video title, the visuals are of Eid Milad-un-Nabi — the celebration of Prophet Mohammad’s Birthday.
The title also mentioned that the video is from Yemen.
Taking a cue from this, we ran a keyword search and found that similar visuals were also uploaded by VoA in November 2019, with the title: “Muslims in Yemen Celebrate Prophet Mohammad’s Birthday”
The video description read: “Tens of thousands of Yemenis and Houthi supporters gather in Sana’a to mark Prophet Mohammad’s birthday, Saturday, November 9 (2019). Streets were decorated with green and white flags as well as lights several days prior to the rally…”
Dhamar News, a media outlet based in Yemen also shared the images of the celebration in 2019.
Thus, based on the above information, it is clear that the viral video is from 2019 and is not recent.
