Accounts on social media shared a video claiming it documented a third explosion in the capital Damascus, near the site of the two previous explosions in the al-Hilbouni area.
Comparing the video details with the incident site and footage of the two earlier explosions showed that the clip dates back to the second explosion in the same area, but was filmed from a different angle, and does not document a new explosion.
Why is this claim misleading?
Old footage from a new angle: Footage of the second explosion was re-presented as a separate third explosion, which the on-the-ground matching of the incident site does not support.
