FACT CHECK
NewsMobile has fact-checked the viral video and found it to be misleading.
Running a Reverse Image Search of the video keyframes, the NM team identified a Facebook post by Omar Suleiman — an American Islamic scholar and civil rights activist, dated November 10, 2023. The post includes visuals identical to the viral video, with a caption: Israeli airstrikes targeted Indonesian Hospital near Jabalia Refugee Camp in Gaza.
Searching further, we found multiple credible news reports from the same period confirming the incident. A video report by Al Jazeera, dated November 09, 2023, also featured the same visuals, stating that people were fleeing from a hospital in Beit Lahia, Gaza, as an Israeli strike hit a nearby street.
As per the report, people fled from the hospital in Beit Lahia in Gaza.
Thus, we can conclusively say that the viral video, claiming to show skirmishes at the Indo-Pak border after the Pahalgam terror attack, is misleading.
