A video showing large flocks of crows swarming parts of Tel Aviv has gone viral on social media, attracting widespread attention and speculation.
The footage shows thousands of birds circling the sky and gathering over busy streets, with clips filmed both at ground level and above the city skyline.
The video has been widely shared across platforms, with users describing the sighting as unusual and surprising.
Online, some users have interpreted the spectacle as a possible omen, linking the mass gathering of birds to fears of escalating conflict in Israel.
Posts circulating on platforms such as X suggest the behavior could signal impending disaster, echoing long-held cultural beliefs that animals can sense danger before it occurs.
However, experts say such explanations are unfounded. Israel is located on a major migratory route linking Europe, Asia and Africa, making large seasonal bird movements common.
