The Claim
A video shows Israelis arriving to Turkey recently.
Emerging story
After Operation Al-Aqsa flood, social media users widely circulated a video clip purporting to feature 1671 Israelis arriving in Alanya, Turkey by ship, fleeing from the recent escalation.
Misbar’s Analysis
Misbar investigated the viral footage and found the claim to be misleading.
After conducting a thorough reverse image search, Misbar’s team found the footage to be older than claimed.
The Video Clip Predates Al-Aqsa Flood
The video was shot on October 6, which was a day prior to the start of Hamas's operation on the Gaza border.
On the same date, a Turkish website shared a long video featuring the arrival of 1671 passengers aboard the CROWN IRIS, the majority of whom were Israeli tourists, as they docked at the Turkish port of Alanya.
The video features scenes of the tourists' arrival, which are identical to those found in the circulating video.
Israeli Airstrikes Cause Mass Casualties
Israel reports that approximately 300,000 Israeli troops have assembled near Gaza and are preparing for potential escalation with Hamas.
Officials in Gaza warn of a looming humanitarian crisis as the power plant ceases operations entirely due to fuel depletion.
Israeli forces' bombardment of the Gaza Strip continues for a fifth consecutive day, resulting in the killing of at least 1,055 Palestinians. Meanwhile, the death toll in Israel has risen to 1,200 individuals.
