I don't think the photo has been used to describe what happened. In my opinion is just an illustration. Something that is done very often in journalism.
Thats not journalism, its deception.

That is not a news site.
There was an explosion and a building is on fire. Here is a picture of what a building on fire looks like.

Not when is used to illustrate. The photo is lacking the description which on a news paper would have been written right on the photo. Making its purpose a simple illustration. But since we're dealing with debka and your newswire things are a bit different.
