Yemen: Fact-checking videos claiming to show Houthi rebel attacks
A video claiming to show Houthi rebels ambushing Saudi-backed mercenaries has racked up major views on X. But the FRANCE 24 Observers found it is actually footage of 2024 Houthi military drills.
The clip was edited with football commentary and blurred flags, which originally show Israel, the UK and US, not Saudi Arabia.
Other viral videos falsely linked to Houthi attacks on a Saudi Aramco refinery were also traced to unrelated fires in Texas and Russia. Vedika Bahl fact-checks in Truth or Fake.
