Footage of the aftermath of an Israeli airstrike on a Yemeni power plant has resurfaced in posts falsely linking it to the Iran-Israel war.
The posts circulated after Israel confirmed an oil refinery in Haifa was struck by an Iranian missile, but the clip was geolocated to a power plant south of Yemen's capital Sanaa and was shared weeks before Iran and Israel traded waves of devastating strikes.
According to an archive captured on June 19 form an Instagram account, its Arabic-language caption said it showed a power plant in Sanaa. The caption was later changed to say Tel Aviv.
The Instagram user did not respond to an AFP request for comment.
