These are mostly troll accounts, who like to share any content without verifying its credibility.

These accounts haven’t even changed the sentence that was framed. Just copied and forwarded the same content.

Fact Check:

A simple reverse image of the viral image revealed that it was a picture of a mosque destroyed by ISIS in Iraq.

Fox News Article

Conclusion: The above image is not in any way related to the incident as specified in the viral tweets. This is an old picture from 2014 when ISIS was destroying Sunni shrines and Shia mosques. The picture is not of any mosque in Pakistan.
