Candidates Spend Millions on Online Propaganda, Including Secret Netanyahu Campaign

Former IDF Chief of Staff Gadi Eisenkot and Naftali Bennett are leading in terms of spending on online propaganda, according to a report detailing the significant financial investments candidates are making in digital campaigns. The article also reveals a previously undisclosed pro-Netanyahu campaign that was removed from the internet after the publication approached his representatives for comment.

Further highlighting campaign tactics, Itamar Ben-Gvir reportedly used a police helicopter to travel from a private vacation to a police volunteers' conference. Meanwhile, a "science fiction or practical idea" regarding placing an assault weapon in space was "instructed" by Katz. The article also touches upon ongoing pressure on Iran, with military intelligence not ruling out the possibility of an initiated escalation by Tehran.

In security matters, the IDF has warned the political echelon that it will face difficulties defending new settlements and outposts. Separately, a "boom prisoner, boom prisoner" message from prison guards exposed a routine of abuse at Ketziot Prison. In a concerning trend for the Israeli healthcare system, nearly 1,400 doctors left Israel within a three-year period, according to research.
