Claim: Video of Israelis celebrating the attack on the Al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem.
Fact-check: Video of Israelis celebrating 'Jerusalem Day' at the Western wall is shared with a false narrative - FACTLY
Verdict: the video actually shows jews celebrating the 'jerusalem day' at the western wall in jerusalem. a tree outside the al-aqsa mosque was set ablaze while israelis were celebrating 'jerusalem day' eve this year on 10 may 2021. during the annual 'jerusalem day' celebrations, hundreds of israelis would gather and celebrate the occasion by dancing to the live music at the western wall. this incident during the 'jerusalem day' celebrations is purely coincidental. hence, the claim made in the post is misleading.
