Has anyone seen these "China airdrops aid into Gaza" videos on TikTok? (hexbear.net)

When I try and find anything in the news, it's pretty clear these videos / stories are either fake, or a misrepresentation of past events. TikTok tried to serve me like at least 4 or 5 of them the other day, and it was really weird, only because I had not heard anyone talking about. Confirmed weird when I couldn't find any news about such an event. The videos are always framed as "China breaks through Israel's blockade!" and shows a massive plane dropping supplies.

Google search returns this: https://www.dw.com/en/fact-check-did-chinese-fighter-jets-deliver-aid-to-gaza/a-72607641

But it begs the question, who is publishing this "news" and why.

Same with the Traore posting that’s been going on recently

Yeah, pretty sure I called out an AI generated one the other day. The delivery was very jarring.

was it the weirdly translated interview where they lip-synced him to (close to) his own voice speaking in perfect english with an inexplicable american accent?

It was an interview, but it was his voice. He was talking about French colonialism and imperialism in general. Nothing that was said I would disagree with, but it sounded like it was an AI dub of his own voice. I'll find the thread and link it
