Misbar’s Analysis
Misbar investigated the circulating video and found the claim to be misleading.
The Video Is Unrelated to The War on Gaza
Misbar's team found that the video shows a Russian oil refinery burning after a Ukrainian attack on January 25, 2024.
According to the description provided in the video, an oil refinery in Russia caught fire following a long-range drone attacks by Ukraine, marking the latest incident of such attacks. The Tuapse refinery, situated approximately 250 miles away from the conflict zone, burned for several hours before firefighters could control the blaze. Additional footage displayed a drone seemingly approaching the refinery, likely launched from Ukraine. Moreover, three factories, two of which were over 2,000 miles away from Ukraine, were also set ablaze, indicating a recurring pattern of such incidents.
Multiple news reports, including a Reuters article featuring a clip from the viral video, cover this attack on January 25, 2024.

According to a statement by the Ministry of Health on Friday night, a significant number of medical personnel, patients, and displaced individuals are still stuck inside the Nasser Medical Complex in southern Gaza. The statement highlighted that those in the maternity building of the enclave's primary operational medical facility had faced harsh and inhumane interrogations by Israeli forces.
Furthermore, the complex is currently without electricity due to malfunctioning generators, posing a severe threat to patients relying on oxygen. In addition, five medical staff members and 120 patients are stranded in the old building of the compound without access to food or water.
The Ministry of Health also reported that Israeli forces had obstructed the transfer of critically ill patients to other hospitals, exacerbating the dire situation inside the Nasser Medical Complex.
