Is the Video from the Current Israel- Palestine Conflict? : Fact
The truth is that this footage actually shows a Sudanese army drone attacking a fuel tanker in the capital city of Khartoum that is owned by the Sudanese Rapid Support Force. It is not related to the current conflict between Israel and Palestine.
While going through the process of proper research and analysis, we visited Sudan News which was published on this incident on Oct 12,2023. It wrote “An army march targets a fuel tanker belonging to the support “.
African News Paper also attached the same image from the incident on Oct 12,2023 and repeated the same statement from Sudan News.
