However, upon investigation, we discovered that the claim was misleading. Here’s the fact check.
Fact Check
We started our investigation by taking screenshots from the viral video and conducting a reverse image search. This led us to the Instagram handle of the Western Galilee Police where the viral video was uploaded on October 22, 2025.
The translation of the Hebrew caption reads, “Governance and sovereignty for residents🇮🇱
Western Galilee police continue to dismantle cameras installed by criminal organizations and weaknesses in the public space.”
According to reports published in Israeli media, the removal of CCTV cameras from some cities in Israel has been a part of security measures as those cameras were installed by criminal elements.
This makes it clear that the viral video is old and unrelated to the ongoing conflict between Israel and Iran.
Conclusion
From our investigation, we can say that the claim is misleading. The viral video of Israeli policemen removing CCTV cameras from the poles and buildings is old. This is unrelated to the ongoing conflict between Israel and Iran.
