What FACTLY found
The video is from the evening of 07 August 2024, when Mouloudia d’Alger soccer fans celebrated the club’s 103rd anniversary. They lit up the sky in Algiers with fireworks, creating a festive atmosphere. In the clip, a group of men can be seen wearing jackets with the acronym GIP, resembling Algerian police uniforms, confirming that the video is from Algeria, not China or Israel.
