* The truth about the video of the fire in the second largest Israeli oil refinery
ARTICLE SUMMARY (2024-10-18)
Internet users shared a video of a fire at an oil refinery in West Java, Indonesia, in 2021, with a misleading description that the video showed a fire at Israel’s second-largest oil refinery in 2024, as a result of Hezbollah rocket attacks on Israel.
The description of one of the videos circulating on social media reads, “Hezbollah hits Israel’s second-largest refinery with a single Corps missile, turning it into ashes.”
A spokesman for Israel’s Energy and Infrastructure Ministry said in response to a request for comment from Reuters that the video was not from Israel.
Israel killed Hassan Nasrallah, the leader of the Lebanese Hezbollah group, in an airstrike on Beirut last September.
Iran’s Mehr News Agency quoted informed sources as saying that an oil refinery in Haifa was hit by a new round of Hezbollah rocket attacks on the morning of October 4, 2024.
