Islamic Jihad mouthpiece Palestine Today warns all Gazans not to respond to social media posts by Israeli government officials, especially the Israeli in Arabic pages and COGAT pages, saying that their responses can be analyzed and help the Mossad entrap them.
Iyad al-Bazm, spokesman for the Interior Ministry in Gaza, stressed that “Israel always seeks to harm the Palestinian internal mood and attempts to strike and influence the resistance and recruit all means to achieve this purpose. “
Al-Bazm advised Gazans not to deal with the pages Avichai Adraee, Ofir Gendelman, and others, and not to comment on them, and not to be provoked by sarcastic comments. He explained that these pages are run by intelligence officers who analyze all the interactions on these pages and analyze the data and might be a gateway to infiltrating Gaza.
He praised the Palestinian media for doing their part to let citizens know of the danger.
Hamas actually started a billboard campaign urging people not to respond to the Facebook page of COGAT Arabic.
It does seem probable that Israeli intelligence does take advantage of what they learn from social media posts. However, if anything, this campaign indicates how popular Israeli army and government social media has been in Gaza.
It seems like Gazans are thirsty for the truth. The terrorist organizations want to stop them from getting it.
We have lots of ideas, but we need more resources to be even more effective. Please donate today to help get the message out and to help defend Israel.
