For days, the internet has been abuzz with conspiracy theories that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu may have died.
This prompted Netanyahu to release a video showing himself talking to people and reminding citizens to stay near a safe space to protect themselves from Iranian missile attacks.
In this way, Netanyahu tried to refute conspiracy theories. The Reuters news agency was able to verify the location, which matched satellite images of the area.
Netanyahu's outdoor video was released a day after he appeared in a cafe dismissing reports that he might have been assassinated.
"I'm dying... for coffee," he said.
Meanwhile, Netanyahu's video has also faced detailed online analysis, where several details have been captured regarding the authenticity of the video or the fact that it may have been created with Artificial Intelligence.

Some details captured are the fact that in the video, at one point Netanyahu's ring disappears from his finger, another episode the date on the coffee bill is April 14, 2024.
This comes as the war between Israel and Iran has entered its third week. The conflict escalated after the United States and Israel carried out joint attacks on Iran last month.
The attacks killed Iran's 86-year-old Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei, and sparked a wider conflict across the Middle East.
