Amplifying the image of “uncontrollable resistance” in the West Bank and Jerusalem

What it claims

Iranian outlets present security incident statistics as a massive wave of “high-quality resistance” supposedly paralyzing Israeli forces. The campaign aims to undermine the sense of security among Israelis by exaggerating the effectiveness and coordination of attacks.

Target audience

Examples (paraphrased)

We paraphrase rather than quote: propaganda's exact wording is built to spread, so we carry the claim and not the craft. Each example cites the post it came from.

• Over the past week, more than 60 successful operations against occupation forces have been recorded in Jerusalem and the West Bank.

Goal

To sow panic among the civilian population and demoralize IDF personnel by creating an illusion of lost control over the security situation.

Techniques used

• Exaggeration or MinimisationUsing figures (63 actions in 5 days) to create the impression of a total uprising.
• Loaded LanguageLabeling any incidents as “high-quality resistance operations.”

The real grievance it exploits

Real tensions and regular security incidents in Jerusalem and the territories, which cause constant anxiety for the lives of loved ones within Israeli society.

How to counter

• Technique exposure: Pay attention to the sources: Iranian networks often combine minor offences and criminal incidents into a single “resistance” statistic to artificially inflate the scale of the threat.
