Fact-Check: Taliban members jumping on trampolines is more than a year old

Recently, an extremely viral video has been making rounds on Twitter and Facebook. The video shows alleged members of the terror outfit Taliban, jumping on trampolines. The video has been posted by a number of verified handles and has been viewed millions of times on social media.

The video posted by this handle has been viewed over 1.2 million times.

The video was also a part of a report done by Zee News India.

Fact-Check:

Upon reverse image searching the key frames of this video, we found that the video is an year old. It has already been uploaded on YouTube channel Fazel Hakimi Videos in the name of “taliban first time trampoline ?‼️”

We can therefore say that the claim made by Zee News and others is misleading and false.
