A Telegram post warned Thursday night of a sophisticated influence operation by the Muslim Brotherhood's foreign network 'Isnad', which uses AI-generated fake profiles to impersonate both left-wing and right-wing Israeli accounts ahead of the elections. The post cited a fake bot account named 'Hila Natanel' that was exposed by a misspelling, and urged readers to be skeptical because hundreds of such profiles are active.
The source on Thursday night warned of an ongoing influence operation by the Muslim Brotherhood's foreign network 'Isnad', which it said is using AI-generated fake profiles to impersonate both left-wing and right-wing Israeli accounts ahead of the upcoming elections. The post cited a specific fake bot account named 'Hila Natanel' that was exposed by a misspelling, and claimed that hundreds of such fake profiles are active on the network.
The warning echoes a broader concern about AI-driven disinformation in Israeli politics. As The Zioneer previously reported, an investigation uncovered a coordinated AI influence network on Twitter targeting right-wing circles and the government (published July 16, 2026). The current post provides additional details about the specific network 'Isnad' and the methods used, including the dual impersonation of both left and right identities.
The claims remain single-source and unverified. The identity of the source's operator and the exact scope of the network have not been independently confirmed. The post itself urges readers to be skeptical and to expect more such fake profiles as the election approaches.
