Misbar’s Analysis
Misbar has investigated the claim and found it misleading.
Using Google Image Reverse Search, we found that all of the images circulating are old and have already been posted on social media and news websites.
The first image that depicts the Israeli escalations on Gaza goes back to July 2014.
Description: The image depicts an Israeli escalation in Gaza.
The second image is more than six years old, and it depicts fire raging after a Saudi-led airstrike in Sana’a, Yemen, in April 2015.
Description: The image has been online since 2015.
The third image also turned out to be old. It was shared by some news websites reporting on Arab coalition forces airstrikes to destroy Houthi weapons at a camp in the Yemeni capital, Sana’a, last December 2021.
Description: This image has nothing to do with the recent incident.
The fourth image has nothing to do with Sana’a. It was uploaded to many websites as it shows fire raging at one of the Aramco factories in Abqaiq, Saudi Arabia, after a drone strike in 2019.
Description: This image depicts explosions at the Aramco factory in Saudi Arabia.
