Social media played a significant role in spreading misinformation and inciting real-life violence. The Gaza death toll hitting 40,000 was mentioned, alongside indications that Israel had achieved most of its battlefield aims against Hamas but was unlikely to eliminate the militant movement with continued combat operations.

Iran’s motive was to prevent Trump’s re-election due to his hardline stance against Iran.
