Watch: Thousands of crows swarm Tel Aviv Skies amid Israel-Iran war, sparks doomsday speculation, what exactly happened?
Images and videos of large flocks of crows flying over Tel Aviv have gone viral on social media, attracting wide attention. Many users commented that the unusual sight felt like a “bad sign,” connecting it to religious and symbolic meanings. The footage, reportedly taken from different points in the city, shows the birds gathering and flying together in dense groups, creating a shocking scene over the skyline.
Religious Connections
Some social media users linked the sight of crows to religious texts, especially the Bible. Apocalyptic passages, like in Revelation, mention carrion-eating birds such as crows appearing after wars and destruction. Because of this, several viewers interpreted the images as a potential omen of bad events.
News24 cannot independently verify the claims shown in the videos circulating online.
What did experts say?
Experts, however, advise caution. Environmental specialists say that large gatherings of crows can happen due to natural reasons, like seasonal migration, changes in food supply, or environmental factors. They note that this bird behaviour is not unusual and does not automatically indicate anything extraordinary.
The images spread quickly on social media, partly because of the tense situation in the region. Symbolic and religious interpretations are also growing, as users discuss and share the visuals widely.
