Did AP News post a video of a controlled demolition and call it an airstrike in Beruit?

An Israeli airstrike struck an apartment building in Bachoura, central Beirut, on Wednesday


AP News

Posted 2 hr ago on their social. It contains no link to their news site and no commentary. [Update] Link now available at AP News

I am no expert in munitions or the analysis of explosives, but this looks like some old clip of a controlled demolition.

Any comments from the peanut gallery?

Beirut is getting hit several times a day. My friend’s parents live there and they’re always updating their social media with explosions across the city.

It wouldn't surprise me if they did, back during Trump's first term ABC news aired footage of a gun range in Kentucky and claimed it was fighting in Syria in an attempt at a gotcha.

So there is no lie or distortion I would put past the bullshite left wing media

I don't understand why Israel is hitting an apartment building especially if they're warning tenants to evacuate the building. Would defeat the purpose, no?

That's the first air strike I've see at the bottom of a building without any missile coming in...

And the media doesn't know why people don't trust the news anymore..

That right there is pure propaganda..

There aren't a hundred people running and screaming in panic? Fixed camera waiting for it. Obviously a planned demo, but dont let facts get in the way of your story AP.

A few more hours on social and planned demo seems to be the prevailing view.

Still up on both AP sites. They have to have people monitoring the chatter.

The cynical side of me thinks they don't care if it is incorrect or even if they are getting roasted in the comments so long as it generates traffic...which has all of the dignity and professionalism of prostitution.

If you were to take the time and make the effort you would be amazed, maybe shocked, at the percentage of "BREAKING!" videos shared as news that are old, fake, or a combination of both. It gets worse every day.
