What FACTLY found

The video actually shows a fire outbreak in the suburb of Cairo, Egypt which was caused due to a leak in the crude oil pipeline back in 2020. Multiple news agencies have reported the incident back then. This video has nothing to do with Israel and the current conflict. Also, there are no recent news reports about any explosion in Israel that killed 500 Jews
