A network of accounts on X using stolen and possibly AI-generated images coordinated to engage with accounts supportive of Israel

This discovery follows previous research by the DFRLab and other investigators which exposed a similar network of inauthentic pro-Israel accounts which became active on Facebook, Instagram, and X after the beginning of the war in Gaza.

If you don't trust...

  • The Associated Presss (citing US Intelligence),
  • CNN (citing Microsoft), and
  • NPR (citing "an Israeli watchdog group" -- okay, I'll give you this one),

...then who do you trust?

It almost sounds like you're brushing off any media report as "a mouthpiece", and only believing random anonymous posts on the Internet.
