“The video shows Israeli citizens staging a protest and pleading with Iran to stop the war.”
What FACTLY found
The video does not show a real protest by Israeli citizens pleading with Iran to stop the war. It is an AI-generated video, as indicated by unnatural facial features, spelling errors on placards, and the visible “Veo” watermark linked to Google’s AI video tool. Detection tools like SynthID and Hive AI confirmed the video was AI-generated. There are no credible reports of such protests taking place in either Israel or Los Angeles.
