Cette vidéo montre des milliers d'Israéliens prendre d'assaut l'aéroport Ben Gourion à Tel-Aviv après l'attaque de l'Iran.

Publisher’s rating: La vidéo montre des passagers à l'aéroport d'Athènes, la capitale grecque, en septembre 2024. Son utilisation dans le cadre du conflit au Proche-Orient est totalement hors de propos.

The video does not show Israelis at Ben Gurion Airport: it shows passengers at Athens International Airport in September 2024. The review notes that the footage was misused to suggest a mass departure after Iran’s October 1, 2024 missile attack on Israel.
