Verdict: False

The video shows an Israeli attack on Hudaydah.

Fact Check:

Iran has stated their repsonse to an Israeli attack would be “appropriate,” BBC News reported. The Israeli attack, which was a response to an Iranian attack, killed four soldiers, according to the outlet.

A post shared on X, formerly known as Twitter, suggests that Hezbollah struck a power plant in Israel that could cause massive damage. The video shows a massive fire and smoke plume in the distance.

The caption reads, “Hezbollah attacks a petrochemical plant south of Haifa Tel Aviv.”

The claim is inaccurate. The video dates back to last month during a missile attack in Yemen, BBC News shared the footage explaining that the Israeli Air Force attacked the city of Hudaydah.

Haifa’s petrochemical plant has been under threat during the conflict in the Middle East as locals fear that it may be targeted, The Times of Israel reported. Israel and Hezbollah’s conflict continued recently when Israel struck a weapons depot and observation posts in Tyre, according to another article by the outlet. Tyre is a stronghold of the Aziz unit of Hezbollah.  (RELATED: Does This Video Show Hamas Firing On Humanitarian Aid Flight)
