When we put the image through the Google reverse image search, we found out that the viral picture is not from Kashmir and claims attributed to the image are FAKE.
The viral picture of a decade old picture from Israel’s Ashkelon city after a missile, fired by Palestinian militants inside the Gaza Strip, exploded on a mall on 14 May 2008.
