The claim circulating on social media in October 2024, suggesting that a video shows the aftermath of Yemeni drone attacks on Israel, is false. The video in question actually dates back to an incident at a bus station in Safed, Israel, in 2022, where a fire overtook more than a dozen buses. This misinformation came after Yemen’s Houthi rebels claimed to have attacked Israeli cities with missiles and drones in retaliation for military operations in Lebanon and Gaza. However, the video does not depict the aftermath of these alleged attacks. USA TODAY, Reuters, and Lead Stories all debunked versions of the claim, with USA TODAY reaching out to users who shared the post for comment but receiving no response. It is important to fact-check claims before sharing them on social media to prevent the spread of misinformation.
