Nee, de foto toont een Israëlisch bombardement op Gaza-Stad in 2019. Het heeft niets te maken met de recente ontwikkelingen in Libanon.

The review says the image shows an Israeli airstrike in Gaza City, not Beirut. It traces the photo to Reuters journalist Mohammed Ajour, who took it on March 25, 2019, and says the location was corroborated by matching visible landmarks to Google Maps.[S1]
Additional context
The review notes that Israel’s ground offensive in Lebanon began on October 1, 2024, and that Beirut was hit in subsequent days, but says those developments are unrelated to the image. [S1]
