The protests in Iran have claimed, according to various estimates, the lives of tens of thousands of people. Information coming from the country is scarce, but nothing prepared Noya Zion, a young Israeli woman, to discover that she too had "been killed" in the riots.
In a video she posted to social media, Zion filmed herself and the television where her photo was displayed under the headline "Report: Four Jews killed in protests in Iran." The stunned Zion said, "I never thought this would happen to me in my life... I'm in my house!"
Her father responded to the error more humorously and wrote on Facebook, "Maybe she looks like Niv Sultan [actress starring on 'Tehran'], maybe Niv Sultan looks like her. Peace to both. In any case, our Noya wasn't in Tehran last week... Never mind the troll on Facebook with hundreds of thousands of followers; there are partners in the trolling. Channel 12, a channel of fools," he said, referring to the Israeli TV channel that shared her photo.
He shared the post that reported on Noya's "death" and used her photo: "Sanaz Javaherian was arrested after she demonstrated for freedom of expression. She was beaten to death for over an hour by the Islamic regime. Her body was returned after 13 days; her face was unrecognizable."
