Social media accounts posted a video documenting a missile attack causing massive explosion, claiming it was a missile from Yemen that landed in Herzliya, occupied Palestine. The video was accompanied by the following text: “A scene during Yemeni hypersonic Palestine 2 missile attack on a sensitive target in the Herzliya area, occupied Palestine.”

Kashif verified the video via Google Images search and found it to be old and falsely linked to the Houthis’ attacks on Israel. The clip is of the Iranian missile attack on Israel in early October 2024. 

Al Masirah TV posted the video on its X account on 1/10/2024, with the following text: “Iranian missiles fell on Zionist targets in Herzliya, central occupied Palestine.” Al Manar TV also posted it on its X account on the same date, accompanied by the following description: “Video | New footage of the moment the Zionist enemy’s positions in northern Tel Aviv were bombarded with Iranian missiles.”  

The United States is launching attacks on Yemen, with US President Donald Trump vowing to “completely eliminate” the Houthis. Meanwhile, the Houthis have resumed missile attacks on Israel as the latter resumes its aggression against the Gaza Strip. 

The Iranian Revolutionary Guard announced on Tuesday evening, 1/10/2024, that it had targeted three military bases in Israel with a missile attack. It confirmed that this operation came in response to the assassination of Hamas Political Bureau Chief Ismail Haniyeh and Hezbollah Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah. 

Israel’s Channel 12 reported that Iran launched 181 ballistic missiles targeting various areas across Israel
