Help, I am a bit confused and skeptical of the “news reporting” regarding video of the diamond theft, shown above.

It appears real or actual, at first. The narrative THEN goes on to mention a (Hollywood) movie with a similar plot. Then, I watch as the video appears to be from the Hollywood movie. The “Haredi Gunman” appear to dance a stepped up Hava Nagela all over the hapless victim; and accompanied by DRUM MUSIC.

Is it even possible that these guys smuggled drums in to this heist to distract the victims?

Please advise me as to the veracity of what I watched (over ten times).
