Social media accounts posted a video of an explosion, claiming it was an Iranian missile explosion. The video was accompanied by the following description: “A Zionist woman films the terrifying moment a missile crashes near her.”
Kashif verified the video clip via Google Images search and found that it was old and predates the military escalation between Israel and Iran. It was first circulated on 7 May 2025, claiming to show a Russian attack on Kyiv.
Ukrainian channel Inter TV posted the video on its Facebook page on 7 May 2025, with the following description: “The moment the strike hit the Dream Town shopping center in Kyiv during the night of May 3 to 4.”
UNITED24Media posted the video on its Instagram account on the same date, 7 May 2025, explaining that it was taken on the morning of 4 May 2025, and that it documents “a Russian drone attack on the Obolonsky district of Kyiv, causing significant damage to the Dream Town shopping center and surrounding residential areas.”
Iran launched a missile attack on 19 June 2025, described as the most powerful in two days, marking the seventh day of military escalation between the occupation and Iran, resulting in 45 Israeli injuries. The attack targeted Tel Aviv, Ramat Gan, and Holon. The Israeli occupation army stated that “several injuries were identified as a result of the missile attack, one of which hit the largest hospital in southern Israel (Soroka Hospital).”
In contrast, Tehran confirmed that the target of the missile attack was the Israeli army’s command and intelligence headquarters, located next to the hospital, according to the Iranian news agency IRNA. It stated that the Israeli military infrastructure in the targeted area was “accurately hit,” while Soroka Hospital sustained damage from the blast wave.
