The image actually dates back to October 2023 and was captured in a different city. According to the Times of Israel, the leader of the Houthis promised retaliation for an Israeli strike on oil facilities in Hodeida, which occurred after a Houthi drone targeted Tel Aviv. Reports indicate that the Houthis are planning to target Israeli locations. A reverse image search conducted by Check Your Fact revealed that the photo was taken on October 7, 2023, during the Hamas-led terrorist attack on Israel, and it shows damage in Ashkelon from a rocket strike. The image description confirms, &#8220;A rocket fired from Gaza into southern Israel hits Ashkelon, October 7, 2023.&#8221; Additionally, the Times of Israel reported that Hamas terrorists intended to storm a prison near Ashkelon but became disoriented and ended up in Sderot, where they killed several individuals.
