Misleading videos alleging to show Israel-Hamas conflict circulate on X

Old video footage falsely alleging to show images from the current conflict between Israel and Hamas are circulating on social media platform X, formerly Twitter, misleading users.

Amid Palestinian militant group Hamas' surprise attack on Israel Saturday, misinformation is spreading on the platform. 

For example, a verified X user, Khushnood Ali Khan, on Saturday posted a video captioned "BREAKING: Israeli Air Force is striking terror targets in Gaza." The X user characterized the video as a retaliatory strike on Hamas from October. Hamas, the Islamist group that governs the Gaza Strip, is designated a terrorist organization by the U.S. and Israel.
