Fake social media accounts that previously promoted the overthrow of the Iranian regime have recently begun sharing videos of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, according to an analysis by Haaretz, network researchers, and a private monitoring firm. These accounts were identified last year as part of an influence operation targeting the Ayatollah regime. Their recent activity has shifted to coincide with Israel's election system, amplifying Netanyahu's campaign materials.
