Call me a sceptic but since the fuel is stored in the wings of aircraft if a missile hit the wing at 580 meters per second and exploded would it not cause a much large explosion than what it seems we're seeing?

Skeptics entirely welcome. :-)

OK, the low
'sun angle' aspect lines up.
That video was from very early in the a.m. or very late in the day. Now, place that next to this news report from three days ago:
"At approximately 6:30 GMT this morning, a DHL aircraft, an Airbus A300 freighter, departing from Baghdad to Bahrain, had to return to Baghdad and effect an emergency landing," company spokeswoman Patricia Thomson said in Brussels."

50% of even small Israeli jets like A-4s have survived direct hits from this missle.

Exactly. This is not actual footage of the launch or the hit. I missile hit is much more violent than what was shown on this video...even a small missile hit.

I've seen the DHL plane. That's where the hole in the wing is. Tape seems ok to me.
