The Israeli Flag Raised in Florida
Our team was unable to locate the original video because it had been deleted from the TikTok account where the watermark was featured.
Using Google Maps and Google Earth, our team discovered that the footage was shot near a "Rue de France" shop in Miami, Florida.
Our team noticed that the images in the video match the ceiling and shop front of the market.
