The IDF said on Wednesday that it had uncovered at least 17 fake social media profiles operated by the Hezbollah terror group in a plot to gather intelligence on the military.
The profiles, uncovered by the IDF’s Information Security Department, tried to trick soldiers into revealing sensitive information about their location in bases and troop locations, the military said.
The IDF said some of the profiles presented themselves as soldiers, and the Hezbollah operatives, using the fake profiles, would build personal relationships with troops over social media apps with messages, audio recordings, and video calls.
The profiles uncovered by the IDF were: tanya_ohayon_12, ilana.ed, zyzu744, noorr.levi, ohana.norit, nitzanlevi604, annadayan22, natali8karmi, nicole.pz_66, _vanessar.94_, shira._.151, eden_cohen_9, shirashitts, christinadss1256, galavivi7, avilevi_330, and eve_henry89.
The majority of the profiles were still active on Instagram as of Thursday evening.

Israeli security forces have also foiled similar attempts by Hamas

The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage.

It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return.
