Israel's security establishment has identified and thwarted a significant foreign attempt to interfere in the upcoming elections. The Shin Bet (General Security Service) discovered and dismantled a network of fake social media profiles and false posts designed to manipulate public opinion and influence election results. The operation, which unfolded over recent weeks, was attributed to hostile elements from adversarial nations seeking to undermine Israel's democratic process.
In parallel with the online counter-operation, the security forces are heightening their readiness on the ground. A complete travel ban has been imposed on all combat units in the IDF until after election day, ensuring maximum operational availability. Additionally, forces have been significantly reinforced in Judea and Samaria, with senior commanders bolstering command centers to enhance control and rapid response capabilities.
The security apparatus views this interference as part of a broader effort to protect election day and ensure its smooth and orderly conduct without external disruption. The measures taken aim to safeguard the integrity of the democratic process and the credibility of the elections.
