I don't know if this has been brought to anyone's attention yet, but in a quick search of the authenticated Reuters photographs attributed to Adnan Hajj, I found the following two.
One is from July 24 of a bombed out area in Beirut, with a clearly identifiable building in a prominent part of the shot.
The second is of the exact same area, same buildings, same condition, with a woman walking past "a building flattened during an overnight Israeli air raid on Beirut's suburbs August 5, 2006."
JOHN adds: Another example of the same phenomenon--not an identical photo, but two photos of the same woman, obviously taken at more or less the same time but published two weeks apart--in each case with a caption saying that she had lost her house to an Israeli bomb the night before!

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."
