IDF in psychological warfare against the flotilla: Played Britney Spears songs over frequencies
An unusual incident was reported during attempts of a flotilla towards the Gaza Strip, when participants claimed that IDF forces took over the ships' communication systems. According to the reports, instead of standard military communication, the forces chose to broadcast songs by the singer Britney Spears.
On the Hadashot MeHashetach Telegram channel (known for a line supporting the government and military positions and having a distinct right-wing orientation), the incident was reported under the headline "Oops! We Did It Again" referring to their publication. The report highlights the jesting nature of the action, as the participants in the flotilla claim this is the IDF's attempt to disrupt their communication using psychological warfare.
A similar report also appeared on the "Without Censorship" channel, which confirmed the details of the event and added that it is a tactic intended to throw the participants off balance or to mock the attempt to reach Gaza. As of now, the IDF has not issued an official response confirming or denying the claims regarding the broadcasting of the songs over the flotilla's communication frequencies.
