It is important to note that Israel does not have diplomatic relations with the majority of Muslim countries, including Pakistan. In recent decades, there have been no recorded incidents of external attacks on Israel, particularly from Pakistan. Furthermore, Pakistan has not recognized Israel as a state and maintains no diplomatic relations with it.

The viral TikTok videos contain unrelated scenes from the 2018 film Operation Red Sea. It is crucial to emphasize that there is no credible evidence from mainstream media in support of the viral claim.
However, it is important to acknowledge that there has been ongoing violence between Israel and Palestinians, including incidents such as the attacks in Jenin, located in the West Bank. According to a report by the BBC, the events in Jenin have been described as one of the largest attacks on Palestinians in recent years. The Israeli authorities state that their operations in the area are aimed at targeting terrorist hideouts.
