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 a tweet, dated October 3, 2023, on an unverified handle. As per its description, the incident is from Al Mukalla, Yemen, when the UAE-backed security forces entered the homes of citizens, accusing them of being disruptive and not responding to the authorities.
As the attack on Israel started on October 7, 2023, definitely the viral clip is not related to the ongoing Israel-Hamas war.
Searching further, our team found another YouTube video uploaded by Yemeni News — a news outlet from Yemen, dated October 5, 2023, with a title: اقتحام فصائل إماراتيه لمنازل المواطنين في المكلا.. تثير غضب الرأي العام (English translation: Emirati factions storming citizens’ homes in Mukalla… arousing public anger).
The description of the video confirms that Emirati formations storming citizens’ homes in Mukalla, Yemen. Therefore, we can conclusively say that the viral post is fake.
