Teaching Lebanese News Portals How To Verify A Picture

I’ve spotted at least 3 or 4 old or fake pictures being shared by various Lebanese TVs and news portals ever since the Hezbollah attack on the Israeli convoy. Here’s one of them showing a picture of a destroyed US combat vehicle in a 2013 article.

These pictures reminded me of an old post I wrote two years ago where I explained how you can verify if a picture is fake or not using Google. I hope they make good use of it and avoid the embarrassment.

Update: As stated by Mustapha in the comment below, Ta3biriyya means the photo is not related to the event, but this term was added after they had posted the picture as you can see from the edit history.
