Claim:A video shows Palestinians evacuating the southern Gaza city of Rafah in May 2024 ahead of a planned Israeli Defense Forces assault. Rating:Rating: MiscaptionedContext:The video shows Palestinians evacuating south toward Rafah following an earlier evacuation order, in November 2023. Shortly after the news broke, a video on X purporting to show Palestinians evacuating Rafah went viral:But the video actually showed the opposite — Palestinians evacuating in a southerly direction toward Rafah in November 2023. Because the video is from November 2023 and shows an earlier evacuation of Palestinians, we rate the video as "Miscaptioned."
