Evidence (2021-08-23): Between May 11 and 15, Israeli forces attacked the Hanadi, al-Jawhara, al-Shorouk, and al-Jalaa towers in the densely populated al-Rimal neighborhood. In each case, the Israeli military warned tenants of impending attacks, allowing for their evacuation. Three buildings were immediately leveled while the fourth, al-Jawhara, sustained extensive damage and is slated to be demolished. Israeli authorities contend that Palestinian armed groups were using the towers for military purposes, but have provided no evidence to support those allegations. "The apparently unlawful Israeli strikes on four high-rise towers in Gaza City caused serious, lasting harm for countless Palestinians who lived, worked, shopped, or benefitted from businesses based there," said Richard Weir, crisis and conflict researcher at Human Rights Watch. "The Israeli military should publicly produce the evidence that it says it relied on to carry out these attacks." [...] The attack also damaged critical electrical delivery lines for Gaza City and the area immediately around the tower, Gaza’s electricity company said.

Evidence (2023-10-08): Israeli media, citing rescue service officials, said at least 250 people were killed and 1,500 wounded in Saturday’s attack, making it the deadliest in Israel in decades. At least 232 people in the Gaza Strip were killed and 1,700 wounded in Israeli strikes, the Palestinian Health Ministry said. Hamas fighters took an unknown number of civilians and soldiers captive into Gaza. [...] Israeli airstrikes in Gaza intensified after nightfall, flattening residential buildings in giant explosions, including a 14-story tower that held dozens of apartments as well as Hamas offices in central Gaza City. Israeli forces fired a warning just before. Around 3 a.m., a loudspeaker atop a mosque in Gaza City blared a stark warning to residents of nearby apartment buildings: Evacuate immediately. Just minutes later, an Israeli airstrike reduced one nearby five-story building to ashes.

Claim: Israeli Attacked On Gaza Tower Recently !! (Social Media Users, 2023-10-09)
Evidence (2024-07-29): On the morning of Saturday, October 7, the Palestinian group Hamas carried out a surprise attack on Israel on an unprecedented scale: firing thousands of rockets, infiltrating militants into Israeli territory, and taking an unknown number of hostages. At least 100 Israelis have died, and at least 1,400 have been wounded; Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared that his country was "at war." As Israeli forces responded, around 200 Palestinians were killed and around 1,600 wounded. [...] This was a total system failure on Israel’s part. The Israelis are accustomed to being able to know exactly what the Palestinians are doing, in detail, from their sophisticated means of spying. They built a very expensive wall between Gaza and the communities on the Israeli side of the border. They had been confident that Hamas was deterred from launching a major attack: they wouldn’t dare, because they would get crushed, because the Palestinians would turn against Hamas for causing another war. And the Israelis believed that Hamas was in a different mode now: focused on a long-term cease-fire in which each side benefited from a live-and-let-live arrangement. Some 19,000 Palestinian workers were going into Israel every day from Gaza, and that was benefiting the economy and was generating tax revenues.

Evidence (2024-02-21): NEW YORK/JERUSALEM, February 21, 2024—The international medical humanitarian organization Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) condemns in the strongest possible terms the killing of two MSF staff family members during an Israeli offensive on Al-Mawasi in Khan Younis, southern Gaza. Six others were injured in the attack. Late in the evening of February 20, Israeli forces conducted a military operation in Al-Mawasi—located on Gaza’s coastline—during which an Israeli tank fired on a house sheltering MSF colleagues and their families. The attack killed the daughter-in-law and wife of an MSF colleague. Six other people were injured, five of whom were women or children. Bullets were also fired at the clearly marked MSF building, hitting the front gate, the building’s exterior, and the interior of the ground floor. [...] "These killings underscore the grim reality that nowhere in Gaza is safe," said Nicolai. "Promises of safe areas are empty and deconfliction mechanisms unreliable. The amount of force being used in a densely populated urban area is staggering, and targeting a building knowing it is full of humanitarian workers and their families is unconscionable."
Claim: IOC Requests Against Filling Fuel Tanks To The Maximum Limit, Due To Rising Heat In SL! (Social Media Users, 2023-04-17)
Evidence (2023-04-17): Our investigation found that IOC had not released any advisory statement warning the public against filling their vehicle fuel tanks to the maximum limit. The message was viral a few years ago in India, too. IOC clarifies that they had not issued any such advisory, and it’s perfectly safe to fill the fuel tanks to the maximum level indicated by the manufacturer, irrespective of whether it`s summer or winter.
Claim: IOC Requests Against Filling Fuel Tanks To The Maximum Limit, Due To Rising Heat In SL! (Social Media Users, 2023-04-17)
Evidence (2022-04-10): A viral social media post claims that IOC has warned against filling a car's fuel tank to its maximum capacity as it can cause an explosion during the summer months. The India Today Anti Fake News War Room (AFWA) has found the claim to be false. [...] The viral post read,"The temperature is set to rise in the coming days, so do not fill petrol in your vehicle to the maximum limit. This can cause an explosion in the fuel tank. Please fill half the tank of fuel in your vehicle and keep room for air. [...] It is thus clear that the claim that filling fuel tanks to their maximum capacities is patently false. And Indian Oil never made any such claim at all.
Claim: IOC Requests Against Filling Fuel Tanks To The Maximum Limit, Due To Rising Heat In SL! (Social Media Users, 2023-04-17)
Evidence (2022-04-08): The content warns people about possible vehicle explosion in case they choose to fill the fuel tank to its maximum limit in summer. The advisory asks people to open the fuel tank once a day to let the gas pass. [...] Indian Oil, on June 10, 2018, tweeted clarifying that the company did not issue any such advisory. In the announcement, Indian Oil said, "There are rumors in social media that Indian Oil has given a warning to the following effect: Due to increase in temperature please don't fill petrol to the maximum limit of the tank; it will cause an explosion in the fuel tank. If you want petrol, fill the half tank and leave the rest for air(sic)." [...] The claim that filling up the fuel tank in the vehicle to the maximum limit will trigger an explosion, makes little scientific sense. This is because the auto-ignition temperature (the minimum temperature required to ignite a gas or vapor in the air without a spark or flame being present) for petrol is 495°F or 257°C. This is way higher than the temperature that an insulated tank can attain in summers with the highest recorded temperature on earth being 56.7°C (134°F), which was measured on 10 July 1913 at Greenland Ranch, Death Valley, California, USA.

Claim: IOC Requests Against Filling Fuel Tanks To The Maximum Limit, Due To Rising Heat In SL! (Social Media Users, 2023-04-17)
Evidence (2022-05-04): In April 2022, a purported statement from Indian Oil Corporation Limited (IOCL) went viral on social media. IOCL was credited in the viral posts for spreading information about the hazards of overfilling gasoline vehicles. The advisory included an image of the IOCL logo along with a body of text stating that rising air temperatures and people filling their vehicles to the maximum capacity with gasoline could result in fuel tank explosions. The warning statement also mentioned that five such explosions had occurred due to people filling fuel tanks to the maximum. It further advised people to only half-fill their tanks, leaving room for air. However, the IOCL warning that has been widely disseminated across several social media platforms is fake. No such caution has been issued by the IOCL. We found that the IOCL released a clarification via a Facebook post on April 9, 2022, in response to the warning statement that had spread across social media. The hoax warning was entirely debunked by IOCL, which also mentioned that it is safe to fill up to the vehicle's maximum capacity regardless of whether it is winter or summer. [...] In 2016, India's highest-ever temperature was recorded in the town of Phalodi in Rajasthan, when temperatures reached 51 degrees Celsius. Moreover, the highest temperature ever recorded on Earth was 56.7 degrees Celsius, measured on July 10, 1913, at Greenland Ranch in Death Valley, California, U.S. We therefore conclude that the IOCL's warning against filling gasoline tanks to maximum capacity amid rising temperatures is a hoax that has been circulating for years.
