Accounts on X posted a video clip showing a large explosion, claiming that the video was of a bombing in Tel Aviv. The video was accompanied by the following text: “Tel Aviv is under bombardment now.”
Kashif verified the video and through a search on Google, it found that the video is old and incorrectly linked. The video dates back to an explosion in the Russian capital, Moscow, not in Tel Aviv. The video was circulated on BBC channel on 30/7/2023, accompanied by the title: “A huge explosion during the explosion of a drone in Moscow.” The Russian Ministry of Defense said at the time that “three Ukrainian drones were shot down on Sunday, and two crashed into offices.”
The Israeli occupation army announced that Iran launched dozens of missiles towards Israel, and many video clips were spread on social media documenting the arrival and fall of dozens of them.
The Iranian Revolutionary Guards also announced that it had struck important military targets with dozens of missiles, adding that any Israeli military response to this operation would be met with more destructive and powerful attacks.
