Iranian operatives ran a far-right Telegram group called “Bnei Eretz,” using the platform to push divisive political messaging inside Israel while attempting to identify and recruit Israelis for activity on Iran’s behalf, Kan News reports.
The group presented itself as an authentic Israeli right-wing platform and circulated harsh messages against left-wing Israelis, Arabs, opposition figures, the IDF and the judicial system. The operation was intended to deepen internal divisions and create chaos within Israeli society.
According to Kan News, those behind the group also sought to use it as a recruitment channel, looking for Israelis who could potentially be persuaded to carry out assignments for Iran.
The investigation found that the effort was not limited to online messaging. The operators attempted to recruit Israelis for activity involving senior political and security figures, while using the group’s political identity as cover for the broader Iranian operation.
The operation highlights Iran’s efforts to exploit internal tensions in Israel and use social media platforms to establish contact with potential recruits inside the country.

Reminds me very strongly of the comment section of Yeshiva World.
I must have had 10 different religious Jews in my life who have all noticed that the comment section of Yeshiva World bares zero resemblance to any real religious Jews, soulless mean people pretending to be Jews, likely Arabs or Iranians in personality. Like they trained in certain parlance in Yiddish, yet spew antisemitism. It is not just Iran doing it, it is the whole Islamic organized world Qatar, Saudi, Egypt, Turkey. If I am right, (I am) imagine the inferiority complex organized Islam has. Imagine how evil Qatari and Erdogan’s trillion dollar universities are. All they do all day and night is steal from the Jews, then lie and accuse the Jews of that. No chance Yeshiva World will publish this comment, but I would bet anything that they are paying off many of the top rabanim no lashon rah because I didn’t name any, but it was once unanimous that Jews do not protest. There is nothing Jewish about lying under a car. Leave Israel if you do not like the laws, eg the community service draft, maybe Ukraine will take you, oops Ukraine has an even more stringent draft. The evil Brits love “anti-zionists” maybe move there, you can make new blood libels this time as the persecutor on the Brit side. Either way there is zero resemblance between religious Jews and the comment section at Yeshiva world, most of the commenters have the personalities of Arabs, Turks and Iranians, and no real Jews I have ever met.
