Misbar’s Analysis
MENA: Misbar’s investigation found that the footage, it’s not real. It's from the viral clip made by a video game editor based on the popular game ARMA 3, not a video for the Israeli air defense system.
The video is being shared after the escalation of events in the Al-Aqsa Mosque, as the Israeli occupation stormed the mosque in the late days of Ramadan and attacked the worshipers, the Israeli aggression on Gaza began after the Palestinian resistance fired its missiles at the occupied cities on Tel Aviv and other areas in response to what the Israeli occupation is doing against the Palestinian people. The Israel Forces posted an actual photo for the Iron Dome aerial defense system.
