Does a video authentically show a missile attack by Pakistan on Delhi? No, that's not true: A viral video misrepresents old footage of a ballistic missile attack on Tel Aviv in Israel as being related to the 2025 conflict between India and Pakistan. The missiles in the video were fired by Iran at Israel in 2024.
The video appeared in a post on X (archived here) published on May 10, 2025 with a caption that read:
Pakistan's attack on Delhi.

The video in question has been online since at least October 1, 2024 when Al Jazeera posted a non-cropped version on X here (archived here):

They posted the same video on YouTube too (archived here) with an almost identical description that read:
