Amid the recent Iran-Israel conflict, a video circulating online shows a young man in an agitated state splashing liquid on a woman. The video claims that Indians who traveled to Israel to show solidarity were attacked, insulted, and told to “go back to India” by Israelis.

Fact-check

Rumor Scanner team’s investigation revealed that the video does not depict a recent incident of Indians being insulted by Israelis while visiting to express solidarity during the Iran-Israel conflict. Instead, the video, which shows an Israeli splashing water on a Christian woman preaching in Jerusalem, has been online since at least March 2025.

In the investigation, a video was found on the X account of Middle East Monitor, a platform that covers Middle East news, especially about the Israel-Palestine conflict. On March 12, a video was posted with the caption: “Israeli splashes Christian woman preaching in Jerusalem”. The video matches the one circulated with the false claim.

According to the video’s caption description, a Christian woman was preaching on the streets of Jerusalem. At that moment, an Israeli man approached her and, while telling her to leave, splashed water on her. The man said to her: “What do you want? Leave. This is Israel, [it belongs to] the Jews.”

The same video can also be found on Middle East Monitor’s website under the same claim here.

In other words, the circulated video has no connection to the recent Iran-Israel conflict. The video has been online since before the Iran-Israel conflict.

Therefore, circulating a video from a different event and falsely claiming that it shows Indians being insulted by Israelis while visiting Israel to express solidarity during the Iran-Israel conflict is false.
