Israel deepfake (May 2025)

AI-generated video compilation shared online as authentic footage of wildfires in Israel. The video was initially shared in January as AI-generated representation of fires that can cause global warming and was falsely presented as authentic footage of Los Angeles wildfires. Experts confirmed the video was AI-generated, pointing out unrealistic-looking fire and smoke, warped power lines, flames merging into palm trees and inconsistent smoke clouds.
