Israel and Hamas -- The Face of Info Ops Today

The Washington Post has this report today on how information operations work in modern conflict. Hamas has been trolling Israeli soldiers on social media in order to gain personal information about them -- presumably for subsequent use in ways that support Hamas' side of the conflict. Here's the opening:

The Israeli military said Wednesday that its archenemy Hamas, the militant Palestinian Islamist group that runs the Gaza Strip, used a series of fake Facebook accounts to connect with young recruits in an attempt to gain access to sensitive army information. A senior intelligence officer, who could not be identified under Israeli army rules, told journalists that over the past few months, dozens of soldiers, mostly from combat units, were enticed into chatting with people they believed were young, attractive women in Israel and abroad.
