FACT CHECK 

NewsMobile fact-checked the above claim, and found it to be FALSE. 

Performing a Reverse Image Search, the NM team identified a video featuring the same tableau as seen in the viral video on YouTube, dated September 25, 2023. The clip had been shared by México Aeroespacial y Defensa with a caption: “During the last military parade, the Secretary of National Defense announced that the Santa Lucía Strategic Reserve was created, organised and equipped for the defence of the central area of ​​Mexico, it is integrated with special intervention operations teams, made up of specialised personnel and anemophilous binomials”. 

A Mexican news channel, Imagen Noticias, also shares the military parade video with a caption: “The ‘Santa Lucía’ Strategic Reserve is opening up, integrated with Special Intervention Operations teams made up of specialised personnel.”

The Secretary of National Defense of Mexico posted images of the #StrategicReserve “Santa Lucía” and the same tableau on September 17, 2023, on X.

Thus, we can conclusively say that a video from Mexico is falsely linked to the ongoing Israel-Palestine war.
