Bot networks originally created to target Iran's government are now being used to spread pro-Benjamin Netanyahu messages on X during Israel's Oct 27 Knesset elections, according to Israeli media reports. The use of generative AI and deepfake videos became a central feature of the election, with both sides flooding social media to reach voters. Israeli security forces removed accounts linked to foreign influence campaigns before the vote, while Netanyahu warned of Iranian cyberattacks and Mossad efforts to undermine election integrity.
