Judging by the image, which TBH is not the best it apears to have impacted through the wheel well and then upward further through the falsework which is aft of the rear spar, hence not part of fuel tank. The subject wing panel is made from composite with a upper/external surface of aluminium. Nowhere near the structural intergrity or resistance to impact of the typical wing skin make up.
