Old videos of Gaza and Turkey earthquake shared with false claims they show destruction in Tel Aviv - Full Fact

False. Of the ten videos, this compilation features at least five old clips from Gaza and two from the aftermath of the 2023 earthquake in Turkey.

A video compilation showing various scenes of destruction has been shared on social media with false claims it shows “Tel Aviv now”.

Although Tel Aviv was struck by Iranian missiles in recent weeks, damaging residential buildings, all of the clips in the compilation we have managed to trace are old footage from Gaza and the 2023 earthquake in Turkey.

The compilation of 10 clips has been widely shared on Facebook, X and TikTok; we have traced the origin of seven of them.

We traced the first video, which appears to be drone footage showing a street of collapsed buildings, to a February 2023 post, captioned “Turkey and Syria earthquake”. We matched the scene to a street in Antakya, in Turkey’s Hatay province, which was badly damaged by a series of earthquakes which killed more than 55,000 people across Turkey and Syria on 6 February 2023. The clip has been horizontally flipped.
