Media outlets and social media users have circulated an image claiming it shows rockets that were recently fired by Gaza militants toward Israel.
Misbar’s Analysis
Misbar investigated the claim and found it to be misleading. The image is outdated and was not taken recently.
The circulating image dates back to August, 2022. It shows rockets fired by Palestinian militants toward Israel.
Israeli Attacks on Jerusalem and Gaza
Israeli forces invaded the Al Aqsa Mosque twice during the past week. Eyewitnesses said the highly armed police stormed the mosque grounds and used tear gas canisters, rubber-coated steel bullets, and concussion grenades on the worshipers who were still performing the Ramadan Taraweeh prayer.
Israel later escalated its fight launching airstrikes on Lebanon and bombing the Gaza Strip.
The claim surfaced after airstrikes on the besieged Gaza Strip during the week. The Israeli military claimed it conducted airstrikes in Lebanon on targets allegedly belonging to Hamas.
The Israeli military claimed 34 rockets were fired from Lebanon on Thursday, 25 of which were intercepted. Israel claimed at least four rockets landed on the occupied territory.
