Anonymous text messages terrorize settlers: 'We are coming, look at the sky at midnight'

Despite the confusion it caused, the army, Shin Bet, and police did not issue any statements warning of a real security threat.

The past few hours have witnessed a state of tension and anxiety among settlers in the occupation entity, after a large number of them received anonymous short text messages (SMS) on their mobile phones.

Channel 12 reported that the messages were in English with a threatening tone: "We are coming, look at the sky at midnight," which led to widespread circulation and noticeable confusion amid the charged security atmosphere in the region.

A military source confirmed to the occupation army radio (Gal Tzahal) that many people received these reports, as it became clear that the messages were sent via foreign numbers or low-cost bulk broadcasting services.

Despite the confusion it caused, the army, Shin Bet, and police did not issue any statements warning of a real, tangible security threat based on these texts, which reinforces the hypothesis of "psychological warfare."

Security experts so far tend to classify this campaign as a "mass intimidation operation" or a "digital hoax" exploiting the current tension, rather than an indicator of an imminent military operation.

Despite speculations linking these movements to entities supporting Iran, these analyses remain without conclusive evidence and fall within the framework of initial conclusions about the situation.

Most analyses agree that the campaign succeeded digitally in creating a stir, but it remains within the scope of "cheap terror" that is not based on significant technical or operational capabilities, with calls for the public to exercise caution when dealing with such misleading messages.
