Verdict: Misleading

The image is from July 2024. It shows the occupied Golan Heights, and there is no evidence it shows a technology company.

Fact Check:

Israel intercepted a Hezbollah ballistic missile near Tel Aviv, the first time a missile from the Lebanese militant group has reached close to the city, according to CNN. Israel and Hezbollah have exchanged fire since the Oct. 7 terrorist attack when Hamas attacked southern Israel.

Social media users are sharing an image of fire in the background, claiming it shows an Israeli tech company on fire. One user wrote, “The largest military technology company is burning now.” (RELATED: Post Claims To Show US Military Equipment Left Behind In Afghanistan)

This claim is misleading. Through a reverse image search, Check Your Fact found that the image is from July 2024, not September 2024. The image was taken in the occupied Golan Heights, according to the image caption on Kikar.

“Fires in the Golan near Kedmat Zvi ( photo: social networks – use according to section 27a of copyright ),” the image caption reads.

Kedmat Zvi is an Israeli settlement in the Golan Heights, according to Wikipedia. It was established in 1981 after the Israelis occupied the Golan Heights after the Six-Day War in 1967, per Wikipedia.

Misinformation around the Israeli-Hezbollah conflict is not new. Check Your Fact recently fact-checked a video that claimed to show a fire in Israel caused by missiles fired from Lebanon. The clip was from Taiwan and showed a fishing boat on fire in December 2023.
