Fact

A reverse image search of a keyframe from the viral clip shows that it was posted on a YouTube channel named Edlyn Candido Lacse on August 6, 2020, with a caption, "Blast while im on my streaming"

After the old video started circulating on social media recently, on March 3, 2026,Edlyn Candido Lacse confirmed on Facebook that the viral video is old, dating back to 2020, when she was in Lebanon. Now she is living in the Philippines.

Hence, the viral video is not related to Dubai or the ongoing tensions involving the United States, Israel, and Iran. The clip actually dates back to 2020 and was recorded in Lebanon.

On August 4, 2020, one of the largest non-nuclear explosions in history pulverised a Beirut port, killing well over 200 people and injuring another 6,000, while damaging more than half the city. The explosion resulted from the detonation of tons of ammonium nitrate, a combustible chemical compound commonly used in agriculture as a high-nitrate fertiliser.
