Dieses Video zeigt, wie Benjamin Netanjahu während der iranische Raketenangriffe in einen Bunker flüchtet.

Publisher’s rating: Es ist ein altes Video vom Dezember 2021. Der israelische Premierminister war damals auf dem Weg zu einer Abstimmung im Parlament. Die Bilder haben nichts mit dem jüngsten Angriff Irans zu tun.

The video was recorded in December 2021 in the Knesset, not during Iran’s later attack on Israel. The review says Netanyahu, then opposition leader, was hurrying so he would not miss a parliamentary vote.

Cette vidéo montre un missile iranien s'écraser à Tel Aviv.

Publisher’s rating: Non, la vidéo a été filmée à Moscou en 2023. Elle montre une attaque de drone, attribuée par la Russie à l'Ukraine. Les images n'ont donc aucun rapport avec la situation au Proche-Orient.

The video dates to July 30, 2023, and shows a drone strike in Moscow, not an Iranian missile hitting Tel Aviv. The review identifies the building as being in Moscow’s business district and says Russia attributed the attack to Ukraine.

The video shows a missile attack by Israel on China and another by Iran on Israel, both transforming the sky into flames as missiles rain down.

Publisher’s rating: FALSE
