The Shin Bet announced it has shut down networks attempting to interfere with upcoming elections. However, experts estimate that dozens, possibly hundreds, of accounts remain active, aiming to deepen polarization and disrupt order in Israel. As the election date approaches, foreign influence networks are intensifying their efforts to meddle by shaping social media discourse. These networks are not focused on promoting any particular political camp but rather on exacerbating divisions and creating chaos before and potentially on election day.
