A video went viral this week, allegedly showing the footage of a surveillance camera filming the entrance to the notorious Evin prison in Tehran being destroyed by an explosion. According to Israel, it had fired on the prison; Iran's judiciary later confirmed the attack.

The prison is known for reports of human rights violations against political prisoners of the Iranian regime.

Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar shared the black-and-white video (archived here) on his X account, writing: "We warned Iran time and again: stop targeting civilians! They continued, including this morning. Our response: Viva la libertad, carajo!"

Numerous international media outlets featured or referenced the 6-second video to report on the attack. These included The New York Times, BBC and the German channel
