Israeli woman shocked after media falsely report her death in Iran protests

An Israeli woman, Noya Zion, has described her shock after seeing a television news report falsely claiming she had been killed during anti-government protests in Iran. The report claimed that four Jewish people had killed during the demonstrations, including Zion, who later confirmed she was alive.

Zion described the experience as deeply distressing and criticised the failure to verify information before publication. She stated that inaccurate reporting is particularly serious when it involves claims of death.

The incident adds to a pattern of misinformation surrounding Iran protest coverage. In a previous case, reports of a protest-related death were later disproven by Turkish media, which established that the individual was a Turkish actress unrelated to events in Iran.
