A video of a woman emotionally crying after her home was reportedly damaged in an airstrike went viral, with claims suggesting she was Israeli influencer Eve Cohen — known for previously mocking Palestinian suffering in Gaza.
Social media users were quick to point out what they called “poetic justice,” highlighting the influencer’s earlier controversial videos, where she ridiculed the destruction in Gaza. One such video had shown her with fake injury makeup, dramatically throwing a fruit on cue, followed by off-camera applause — behavior that drew widespread condemnation.
However, a closer examination of the viral video reveals critical inconsistencies. A fact-check suggests that the woman in the recent video speaks Persian, not Hebrew, indicating that she may be Iranian and not Israeli. This raises the possibility that the woman is actually a victim of Israeli airstrikes in Iran, not someone facing retribution for previous mockery.
This misidentification underscores how misleading narratives can spread rapidly online, especially in conflict zones where emotions and propaganda run high.
Meanwhile, the humanitarian crisis in Gaza continues to worsen. According to the United Nations, more than 50,000 Palestinians have been killed in ongoing Israeli military operations, and nearly 50,000 pregnant women are currently without access to prenatal care due to the war.
