False

Is this a video of an attack on the US Embassy in Israel? Know the truth.

A video of demolition of a building is currently going viral on social media. It can be seen that a tall building started crumbling down with huge noise after an explosion. 

Users are claiming that this is a video of the US Embassy located at Tel Aviv. With the current war situation between Israel and Palestine, many people are believing that this was a result of an attack on Israel.

However, Fact Crescendo found the claim to be false. This is an old video of demolition of a building in the US.

Fact Check- 

First we searched for the images of the US Embassy in Tel Aviv, Israel. We found the image of the embassy from the Getty Images website which is completely different from the demolishing building in the viral video. 

A relevant keyword search on Google led us to a notice released by the US government on 4 November 2023, asking the US citizens to contact the embassy in Jerusalem and TelAviv for assistance to depart Israel. This also confirms that the US embassy in Tel Aviv is still functional. 

Where is this video from? 

A Google Reverse Image Search on a keyframe led us to a video uploaded on ABC 8News which was recorded live. The same building which was demolished can be seen in the video. The caption of the post reads that this is a video of demolition of the old Dominion Energy headquarter. 

According to a report, the old headquarters of Dominion Energy was demolished by the Controlled Demolition company on 30 May 2020 in Virginia. This building had been in operation since 1978. More than 3000 pounds of explosives were used to implode the building. Controlled Demolition company also released a video of the demolition. You can see the video below. 

Conclusion: 

Fact Crescendo found the claim to be false. This is not a video showing the destruction of the US Embassy in Tel Aviv, Israel. This is an old video of the demolition of the Dominion Energy building in Virginia, US.
