Rating: About this rating Miscaptioned Context 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. Portions of this region are now under this new evacuation order. Because the video is from November 2023 and shows an earlier evacuation of Palestinians, we rate the video as "Miscaptioned."
