Claim: Image showing IAF airlifting 800 people from Kabul amid recent tensions in Afghanistan.
Fact-check: 2013 evacuation image from typhoon-hit Philippines is passed off as IAF airlifting 800 people from Kabul - FACTLY
Verdict: this image is related to 2013 us airforce's operation damayan to evacuate residents of the tacloban city in philippines following a super typhoon haiyan. recently, the us airforce's c-17 cargo jet airlifted hundreds of evacuees from hamid karzai international airport and this news is falsely attributed to iaf's c-17 cargo. according to news reports indian air force's c-17 aircraft returned to delhi from kabul with more than 100 indian evacuees. hence the claim made in the post is misleading.
