Far-right group sending voters fake messages ‘warning’ them of high Arab turnout
Residents of the mixed Arab-Jewish town of Ramle say they have been receiving text messages from the far-right Otzma Yehudit group warning them that Joint List MK Ahmad Tibi has arrived in the city and is encouraging its Arab voters to head to the polls.
The Times of Israel confirms that Tibi was at his home when the message blast was sent.
Similar fake messages are being reported in Rehovot and Petah Tivka, which are respectively warning residents of active presence of left-wing groups in the city and high Bedouin turnout.
