Title: “Are the convoys of Egyptian civilians really heading towards the Israeli border? Let’s sort out fact from fiction”
Introduction:
Hot news often attracts attention and provokes strong reactions on social networks. Recently, videos showing convoys of Egyptian civilians heading towards the Israeli border circulated on X (formerly Twitter), raising questions and some concern. But is this reality or misinformation? In this article, we will sort out fact from fiction and analyze the videos in question to get a better understanding of the situation.
Unveiling the truth behind the videos:
The videos show parades of pickup trucks driving at high speed on a desert road and white cars crossing a sandy desert. Some users claim that these convoys are heading towards the Israeli border to support the Palestinians in their fight against Israel.
However, after extensive research, it turns out that both videos are old and not related to the current situation. The first video, showing the pickup trucks on the road, was posted to TikTok in 2021 by an Egyptian account. It is actually a parade of vehicles organized in an Egyptian town not far from the Israeli border. As for the second video, that of the white cars in the desert, it was filmed during a camel race in South Sinai in 2022.
Analysis of disinformation:
It is important to understand that the circulation of such videos can sow confusion and spread false information. In the tense political context of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, it is crucial to have reliable sources of information and to check the facts before sharing or reacting to online content.

The videos showing convoys of Egyptian civilians heading towards the Israeli border are unfortunately old and not related to the current situation. As copywriters, we have a key role to play in disseminating verified and reliable information, while helping to combat the misinformation that spreads on the internet.
