FACT CHECK
NewsMobile fact-checked the posts and found the claim to be false.
We extracted the keyframes of the video and put them through Reverse Image Search. The search led us to the same video on YouTube. The video was shared by NBC News in June 2020. The video title, “Truck Plows Into Group Of Oklahoma Protesters | NBC News NOW.”
The video description read: A truck plowed into a group of Black Lives Matter protesters blocking I-244 in Tulsa, Okla. Injuries were reported as a result of the incident. This is one of many demonstrations happening nationwide over the death of George Floyd.
The same video was also published in a local media outlet from Oklahoma on May 31, 2020.
Thus, from the above fact check, it is clear that the video is old and is not related to pro-Palestine protest.
