Iran Sent Flowers to Hostages' Families in Attempt to Recruit Israelis as Spies
(Telegraph-UK) James Rothwell - Israeli security officials said Iran set up several Hebrew social media pages and websites about the hostage crisis, which helped arrange for flowers to be sent to the victims' homes. The accounts also "tasked Israelis with photographing the residences of Israeli defense officials and other officials who appear frequently in the media and speak out against Iran publicly," the Israel Security Agency said. Iran also set up social media accounts on TikTok, Instagram and Telegram posing as Israeli far-right activists and impersonating the Israeli public broadcaster Channel 11. In December, the ISA warned that Iranian security services were contacting Israelis over social media, posing as potential business partners, such as estate agents, couriers, or even online dating service providers.
