The Facebook account named "Al Khattab" published an image yesterday (November 12) showing a view of a tunnel.
The account in question claims that the image shows a fake tunnel, where an explosion occurred, after which five people were killed and four others were injured by Israeli commandos, who had fallen prey to this fake tunnel.
But after verification by hibrid.info, it has been confirmed that the image is old and that the claim published by the account in question is untrue.
Link to the image published on Facebook by the "Al Khattab" account:
Hibrid.info, after researching through the automated program "InVID", has found that the published image is old, published in 2014 (see here).
Based on the description of this image in this article, it is about a Hamas tunnel discovered by the Israeli army in 2014.
