A video showing a mansion engulfed on fire is going viral on social media. The entire building is up in flames, and firefighters are present at the scene. The video is being shared in connection to the ongoing Iran-Israel conflict. Posts claim that Iran directly attacked Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s home with a ballistic missile, burning his brother, Iddo Netanyahu, to death.<\/span><\/p>\n

A user named ‘Hakan Boyav’ posted a viral video on the social media platform X, writing that the end has come for Netanyahu, the child-killer. An Iranian ballistic missile directly hit Netanyahu’s home, burning Netanyahu’s brother, Iddo Netanyahu, to death. (<\/span>Archive<\/span><\/a>)<\/span><\/p>\n

A user named Waqas Mughal shared the viral video, claiming that Benjamin Netanyahu’s brother, Ado Netanyahu, died after an Iranian missile attack on his family’s home. (<\/span>Archive<\/span><\/a>)<\/span><\/p>\n

A user named ‘La Catrina Norte\u00f1a’ shared the viral video stating that Iranian media outlets had reported how Netanyahu’s brother’s house was set on fire, resulting in his death. (<\/span>Archive link<\/span><\/a>)<\/span><\/p>\n

Fact Check<\/span><\/strong><\/h4>\n

Alt News performed a reverse image search with frames from the viral video and found a report from <\/span>BreakingAC,<\/span><\/a> a US local news website, dated February 10, 2026. The article featured a photo similar to the viral video. According to the report, the incident actually occurred in Galloway Township, New Jersey, USA, where a massive fire broke out in a house in the intervening night of February 8 and 9.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The report clearly states that, according to Galloway Township police, firefighters had a difficult time extinguishing the fire due to the extreme cold, snow, and frost. The homeowner immediately called for help after noticing smoke and sounding the alarm. Fortunately, everyone inside the home managed to get out safely, and there were no reports of injuries or deaths.<\/span><\/p>\n

A Facebook post has been embedded in this article. When we checked the Facebook post, we found that the viral video was posted on February 9. The address of the incident was given as ‘Park Place, Galloway, New Jersey’.<\/span><\/p>\n

When we searched the address mentioned in the Facebook post on\u00a0<\/span>Google Street View<\/span><\/a>, we saw the same bungalow which is seen burning in the viral video.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

This proves that the incident of fire was reported in New Jersey, USA, and has no connection to the Iran-Israel war or Netanyahu’s family. Claims on social media that the alleged video shows a fire at Netanyahu’s brother’s home which resulted in his death are baseless and false.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
