Claim: Video of Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu running to escape and hide from the Iranian missile attack on Israel at midnight on 01 October 2024.
Fact-check: Unrelated old video shared as Israel PM Benjamin Netanyahu running to hide in a bunker amid Iranian missile attack - FACTLY
Verdict: this is a three-year-old video where benjamin netanyahu was rushing to cast his vote as the opposition leader in the knesset, israel's parliament. netanyahu shared the video on 14 december 2021, stating, "i am always proud to run for you. this was taken half an hour ago in the knesset". at the time of the recent iranian missile attack on october 1, 2024, netanyahu was reportedly in a bunker in the jerusalem mountains. hence, the claim is misleading.
