India-Israel unite against 'Eighth Front'

Former Israel — Mossad agent Sagiv Asulin>>> has called for significant global cooperation between India>>> and Israel>>> to combat the 'Eighth Front' of information warfare, which involves narrative manipulation and perception battles. He emphasized that both nations are strategic partners uniquely positioned to counter non-kinetic threats emerging through social media, targeting younger generations. Sagiv Asulin>>> drew parallels between the propaganda faced by Israel>>> after the October 7, 2023, Hamas>>> attacks and the information warfare targeted against India>>> following its 'Operation Sindoor' in response to a terrorist attack in Pahalgam. The event highlights the global nature of these perception battles, driven by radical and ultra-left ideologies. Sagiv Asulin>>> also addressed the intelligence failures surrounding the October 7 attacks, clarifying that the issue was rooted in analytical paradigms rather than a lack of information, as Israel — Mossad>>>'s mandate is restricted to operations outside Israel>>>. He proposed an institutionalized mechanism for allied nations to counter coordinated disinformation campaigns.
