Iranian hackers published an artificial intelligence video of Naftali Bennett and Netanyahu

No independent documents or proofs were presented in this publication either, and it was not possible to verify the source of the information. Israel has not given an official response to the publication, and security officials have stated that these are claims that are being carefully examined, among other things due to the possibility that the information is partial, old or collected from visible sources.

The video published this morning joins a growing trend of using artificial intelligence content as part of influence operations and psychological warfare. Cyber ​​officials point out that fake videos do not require technological penetration, but may influence public opinion and create a sense of threat even without an actual hack. The mere presentation of familiar figures in staged situations of stress or fear is intended, according to estimates, to heighten public resonance and attract media attention.

In the national cyber system and among security officials, it is noted that in recent years there has been an increase in operations aimed at psychological influence, and not necessarily direct technological damage. Publications that include threats, target names or artificial intelligence content are examined as part of a wider campaign in the digital arena.
