Extreme Makeover - Beirut Edition

Either this woman is the unluckiest multiple home-owner in Beirut, or something isn't quite right.

Same clothes, same scar on her left cheek, same mark under her right eye. Two pictures of the same woman, maybe even taken on the same day.

So, what gives?

Update 10.30pm. The BBC is currently using that second picture. Twice. On one page.

It took me a minute to see it. It's the building with the white and beige triangles on it, and rubble in front, repeated in both fotos but supposedly about a week and a half apart.

All your rubble are belong to us.

You may want to change your tagline to "Adnan Hajj: Fake Photographs, Fake News, Fake Reality."

So, this building was claimed to be flattened two months in a row?

What's the deal about this? The shot taken 24 Jul was clearly taken from the fifth floor of some building. The second shot taken 5 Aug couldn't be taken from that vantage point, because of the overnight airstrike and the building the photographer was in on 24 Jul was reduced to rubble.

In the first shot, there are a bunch of people in the streets, in the second shot there's only one. Israeli's are killing all the civilians. Its genocide I tell ya! Genocide!

I don't see a problem here, where's the problem? Its not like Tourist Guy is in the shot anywhere. Wait a minute!. That's not some Muslim woman, that's Tourist Guy in drag!. Woah! ANOTHER faked shot!
