Outdated Photo Shows Israeli Airstrike on Gaza, Not Beirut

Against the backdrop of the recent Israeli airstrikes on Beirut, Lebanon, media outlets and social media users spread a photo alleging to feature a fireball caused by one of the Israeli strikes on the city.

An X user shared the photo, alleging, "Lebanon’s capital city of Beirut tonight. The media won’t tell you this, but Israel is dropping bombs on civilian homes and infrastructure—not military targets."
