Old video of Israeli airstrike on Lebanon shared linking to recent attack

Israel has carried out extensive air strikes on southern Lebanon, saying its warplanes have hit more than 100 Hezbollah rocket launchers and other terrorist sites including a weapons storage facility. In this scenario, a video of a massive roadside explosion recorded from a moving vehicle has gone viral on social media with the claim that it shows Israeli fighter jets airstrikes on Hezbollah outposts in Lebanon.

Fact Check- 

A reverse image search using the keyframes of the video led us to a similar video shared on YouTube by a Saudi news channel named AlHadath on 19 February, 2024. It was titled: “New footage shows moment Israel launches airstrikes near Lebanon’s Sidon.

 Moving forward, we found a news report from 19 February 2024, that too mentioned this video was from Sidon, a coastal city in Lebanon, where the Israeli Air Force launched a strike on Hezbollah weapons warehouses.

An Arabic news outlet AL24 News also shared this video on their Twitter account mentioning that the Israeli aircraft targeted the town of Gazieh near Sidon city.

So, based on these evidences, it is clear that an old video of an Israeli air strike on Sidon City in Lebanon was falsely linked to the recent attack.

Conclusion-Fact Crescendo found the claim made along with the viral video be Misleading. This is an old video of an Israeli air strike on Sidon City in Lebanon from February 2024.
