A post shared on social media purportedly shows several images of bombing attacks in Iran by Israel.

This is not Tel Aviv
This is not Haifa
This is not Safed

This is Tehran, Iran .

Israel can go to any extent to protect its people.
It would be wise not to underestimate them. pic.twitter.com/SxLkyXRupq

Verdict: False

The claim is inaccurate.

Fact Check:

Iran has now vowed a response to Israel attacks on 20 targets, including airplanes, inside Iran on Saturday, Fox News reported. After a warning from the Israel Defense Forces, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei has claimed the country will respond.

A post shared on X, formerly known as Twitter, allegedly shows photos and videos all taken in Tehran, Iran. The images include large fires.

The caption reads, “This is not Tel Aviv. This is not Haifa. This is not Safed. This is Tehran, Iran. Israel can go to any extent to protect its people. It would be wise not to underestimate them.”

The claim is inaccurate. Several of these images are not related to the recent attack in Iran. The image has a label that reads, “Nabilismail.” Nabil Ismail is a photojournalist living in Lebanon, according to his Facebook profile. He posted the image on Instagram on Oct. 7 saying it was from Beirut, Lebanon.

Iranian media also denied that the image was taken in Tehran, reporting that it was a photo taken in Lebanon. In early October several posts claimed that the image was from Beirut. The video also appears to be from an Israeli attack in Lebanon and not Iran. (RELATED: Did Antony Blinken Say ‘We Failed To Convince Netanyahu’ And Warn About Unprecedented Middle East Events?)

This is not the first time misinformation has circulated online. Check Your Fact recently debunked a claim an image authentically showed a passenger plane flying over Beirut as it is burning.
