00:00 Several European gamers, including children, report seeing a pro-Israel video ad with graphic
00:06 footage in various games.
00:08 The pro-Israel video carries footage of rocket attacks, a fiery explosion, and mass gunmen.
00:13 In one case, the ads were seen in the popular Angry Birds game.
00:17 Sega-owned developer Rovio confirms the content made it through to its game and were now being
00:22 blocked manually.
00:23 Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs' head of digital confirms the video was a government-promoted
00:28 ad, but says he had no idea how it ended up inside various games.
00:32 The footage was part of an advocacy drive by the Israeli Foreign Ministry, which has
00:36 spent $1.5 million on internet ads since the October 7 Hamas attack.
