Iran may be trying to sabotage Israel's upcoming elections and its most dangerous weapon isn't a missile, but fake Israelis spreading fear and distrust online.

A new investigation reveals fake Israeli profiles, coordinated disinformation campaigns and attempts to convince Israelis that their government, military and democratic institutions cannot be trusted. But the operation isn't simply about defeating Netanyahu or supporting his opponents. According to Hagen, the real objective is to turn Israelis against one another and convince the public that even future military operations could be political false flags.
