A video purportedly documenting an explosion last Sunday in Tel Aviv's Rishon LeZion has been circulating on social media accounts and pages.
Misbar’s Analysis
Misbar investigated the widely circulated claim and discovered it to be misleading. The video was first released on May 13, 2021. The footage depicts the moment of an explosion in Rishon LeZion near Tel Aviv after being targeted by Palestinian resistance rockets during the latest Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip.
The claim started circulating after the Israeli media reported on Monday, February 8, that an explosion was heard in Rishon LeZion.
