Fact Check: 2023 Image Falsely Linked To Recent Israel-Lebanon Attack

Date:

An image showing black smoke rising after a large explosion is doing the rounds on social media, claiming that it is related to the recent attacks between Israel and Lebanon.

The image is shared on Facebook with a caption: मुस्लिम मुल्क लेबनान का पेलाई शुरू इजरायल ने 35 रॉकेट दागे बॉर्डर पर सैनिकों को बढ़ाया जा रहा है। इजरायली रक्षा मंत्री ने कहा जरूरत पड़ा तो लेबनान को पाषाण युग में पहूंचा देंगे। हिज्बुल्ला के मेन आतंकी स्टेशन को उड़ा दिया गया है। हथियार की कोई चिंता नही करने का, उसके लिए हम लोग इधर बैठें हैं, अडानी जी के फैक्ट्री में प्रोडक्शन बढ़वा दिया जाएगा, बस इन इस्लामिक आतंकवादियों को पेलते रहें, बड़ा अच्छा लगता है। अभी तक लेबनान पर 64 हवाई हमला किया गया है, अब सीधे सैनिक लड़ाई की तैयारी हैं, गाजापट्टी और राफाह के बाद लेबनान भी समतल किया जाएगा। जय हिन्द जय इजरायल (English version: See below.👇)

FACT CHECK 

NewsMobile fact-checked the above claim, and found it to be MISLEADING.

Running a Reverse Image Search, the NM team found the same image on several news websites. An article on Al Jazeera’s website, dated November 12, 2023, states that the image shows “Black smoke rising from an Israeli airstrike on the outskirts of Aita al-Shaab, a village bordering Israel in southern Lebanon”.

The image was also found on The Guardian’s website in a November 2023 article, informing that this is the aftermath of an Israeli attack on the Lebanese village of Aita al-Shaab.  Photo credit — Associated Press (AP).

The same photo was found on AP News’ website, dated November 4, 2023, confirming it depicts an Israeli attack on Lebanon.

Recent reports indicate that Israel had targeted several Hezbollah bases in southern Lebanon, with the Israeli military stating that their fighter jets attacked Hezbollah’s military infrastructure in the village of Houla, southern Lebanon, where many terrorists were active.

Thus, it is evident from the above information that the 2023 image has been falsely linked to the ongoing Israel-Lebanon attack.
