A video of a massive fire went viral on social media claiming it to be a recent Iranian attack on Tel Aviv.
However, as we investigated, we came to know that the claim was false. The viral video is old and not from Tel Aviv. Here’s the fact check.
Fact Check
We started our investigation by taking screenshots from the viral video and conducting a reverse image search. This led us to a YouTube channel where a video similar to the viral video was uploaded on 1 May 2025. According to the description, the video is from Henley Road, Coventry, England.
The recent Iran-Israel conflict started on 13 June 2025. This makes it clear that the viral video predates the Iran-Israel conflict.
Moving forward, we found the viral video on a YouTube channel uploaded on 30 April 2025. According to the caption, a huge fire broke out at the Henley College building in Coventry, England.
According to reports, “A huge fire has destroyed an abandoned college used as a BBC filming location – with drone footage revealing the extent of the damage.
The blaze at Henley College in Coventry broke out at around 7.15pm on April 29, 2025 and 75 firefighters were sent out.
The building has not been used as a college for three years but has since been a filming location for the BBC drama series Phoenix Rise.”

This makes it clear that the viral video is an old video from England.
Conclusion
From our investigation, we can say that the claim is false. The viral video doesn’t show a recent Iranian attack on Tel Aviv. It shows a massive fire at the Henley College in Coventry, England on 29 April 2025.
