How did we find that out?: A keyword search on Google directed us to the same video uploaded on an unverified YouTube channel named 'PRO LRR'.
It was uploaded on 29 October and was titled "10 Minutes Ago! Hamas' Kornet missiles destroyed Israeli tanks and US Delta Forces entering Gaza."
The video's description mentioned that the video is a virtual game simulation and has been generated using Arma 3.
It further said, "We simulate articles that appear in the news."
The video was a simulation and does not show a real incident.
