Viral clip claimed to show recent Tel Aviv blast is actually from Russia-Ukraine conflict in January 2025
Amidst the ongoing Iran-Israel conflict, a video showing a massive blast in a city is going viral on social media, with several users claiming that it shows the current situation in Tel Aviv, Israel.
User Bhavika Kapoor shared the video with the caption, “Condition of Tel Aviv. Good job Iran.”
Another user, Bilal Ahmad asserted, “How did you feel about the situation in Tel Aviv?”
Chikku posted the same video and wrote, “Tel Aviv right now. Iran showing who’s boss.”
The same video was also shared by other handles like Iran Updates, Sou Palestina, and Rayyan Ahmad.

Our team investigated the authenticity of the video. Using keyframes from the clip, we performed a reverse image search and found that the same video was posted in January 2025 by the account Ukraine Front Line on X.
In the post, the caption reads, “Ukraine’s ‘greetings’ hit Bryansk, Ryazan, Rostov, and Moscow last night! Looks terribly wonderful!”
This confirms that the video is related to the Russia-Ukraine conflict, not the current situation in Tel Aviv amidst the Israel-Iran tensions.
In conclusion, the viral video being circulated, which claims to show a recent blast in Tel Aviv, is misleading. It actually shows attacks from January 2025 during the Russia-Ukraine conflict.
