Original review summary

The review found that the video shows an explosion at a warehouse in Tianjin, China, not an Iranian missile attack on the Israeli Defence Ministry headquarters. It traced the footage to a longer video of the Tianjin blasts published by BBC News on 14 August 2015.[S1]

Additional context

The review says the warehouse was operated by Ruihai International Logistics and cites a Guardian report from 12 September 2015 describing the explosions and their toll. [S1]
