    The video shows some guys standing around some pipes and then an exterior shot of an explosion. That’s accompanied by some text and audio. It’s posted on TikTok. As far as I can tell, the claims haven’t been independently verified, that is, confirmed by credible, factual reporting extrinsic to the video.

    Ok but there are two stories you say are credible just below this, and they establish clear facts.

    So two questions:

    Do you believe this was posted by an IDF soldier, as reported by the Times of Israel?

    Do you believe the video shows the Canada Well plant, as stated by both the original poster and a representative of the Canadian government?

    If the answer to both of these is yes, what remaining reason is there to doubt the video? You say the “claims” haven’t been verified but no claim is needed. It is on video. Do you mean the claim that the facility was destroyed, and that the external shot was not of something else being destroyed?

    I am not being obtuse here, I just really don’t understand what you mean
