Only one problem: The photo was actually taken in Syria.
The BBC reporter reflexively assumed that a photo that accompanies a tweet is accurate - when it is anti-Israel.
The good news is that the BBC has now exposed the fact that this same type of purposeful anti-Israel photographic propaganda is happening all the time, today, under the "#GazaUnderAttack" hashtag that the Israel haters are using on Twitter.
Over the past week the hashtag #GazaUnderAttack has been used hundreds of thousands of times, often to distribute pictures claiming to show the effects of Israeli airstrikes on Gaza.
A #BBCtrending investigation has found that many of these images are not from the latest conflict and not even from Gaza. Some date as far back as 2009 and others are from conflicts in Syria and Iraq.
Twitter is a wonderful tool, but it is an even better tool for propagating lies.
