Attacked by Indonesian Netizens, Israeli Soldiers Experience Psychological Disorders

Israeli soldiers walk in the city of Metula, Israel seen from the Lebanon-Israel border on the southern side of the village of Kfar Kila, Lebanon, Sunday, (8/10/2023). 

--Netizens invaded social media accounts belonging to Israeli soldiers. On platform X (formerly called Twitter), a number of netizens shared dozens of official IG accounts for the Israeli army. This was responded to by calls from other netizens to flood the Israeli army's social media accounts with comments that weaken the mentality of the Israeli troops. 

For example, Azzam Mujahid Izzulhaq in the @Azzamizzulhaq account is one of those who supports netizens' actions to attack Israeli military accounts. 

“The Israeli newspaper ‘Haaretz’ revealed that hundreds of Israeli Zionist soldiers are now experiencing psychological disorders. It's time for Indonesian netizens to show the power of their writing. We help them become even more desperate by trolling their IG accounts. Volume fi Sabilillah," he wrote. 

General Chair of the Indonesian Dai Association (Ikadi) KH. Ahmad Kusyairi Suhail assessed what Indonesian netizens were doing by flooding comments on Israeli military accounts including parts of jihad fisabilillah and support for Palestinian independence. 

This is based on a hadith of the Prophet Muhammad SAW. 

*الحرب خدعة*

"War is deception (and strategy)" (HR Bukhari, no. 3029 and Muslim, no. 1740). 

Kiai Ahmad Kusyairi said that the hadith emphasized that in war there are things that are permissible, which in safe and normal conditions are not permissible. This includes being allowed to carry out tactics and deception against the enemy in war in order to attack them and inflict defeat on them without causing harm to the Muslims. 

According to Kiai Kusyairi, what netizens do is part of the war strategy. And in today's era of digitalization and advances in information technology, verbal jihad (oral jihad) on social media has become very important and very effective. 

"Including when Indonesian netizens bullied and flooded comments on Twitter, Instagram, Facebook and other accounts owned by the Israeli Zionist army which colonized Palestine and brutally bombed Gaza and its surroundings. "And this is part of jihad fi sabilillah in the form of verbal jihad, also including part of war strategies and tactics as mentioned by the Prophet SAW above," said kiai Kusyairi to Republika.co.id on Monday (20/11/2023). 

As a result of netizen attacks, a number of Israeli military forces were forced to make their accounts private. Even to the point of deleting their account. 

“All Israeli army IG accounts have started to be made private, some have limited comments. "Indonesian netizens are indeed champions," wrote the account @katz_bornagain. 

Diserang Netizen Indonesia, Tentara Israel Alami Gangguan Psikologis

Tentara Israel berjalan di kota Metula, Israel terlihat dari perbatasan Lebanon-Israel di sisi selatan desa Kfar Kila, Lebanon, Ahad, (8/10/2023).

 --Netizen menyerbu akun media sosial milik tentara-tentara Israel. Di platform X (dulu bernama Twitter), sejumlah netizen membagikan puluhan akun IG resmi tentara Israel. Itu direspon dengan seruan dari para netizen lainnya untuk membanjiri akun media sosial tentara Israel dengan komentar yang melemahkan mental para pasukan Israel.

Misalnya saja Azzam Mujahid Izzulhaq dalam akun @Azzamizzulhaq menjadi salah satu yang mendukung aksi netizen untuk menyerbu akun-akun militer Israel. 

“Surat kabar Israel ‘Haaretz’ mengungkapkan ratusan tentara zionis Israel kini mengalami gangguan psikologis. Saatnya netizen Indonesia menunjukkan kekuatan julidnya. Kita bantu mereka untuk semakin putus asa dengan nge-trol di akun IG mereka. Jilid fi Sabilillah,” tulisnya. 

Ketua Umum Ikatan Dai Indonesia (Ikadi) KH. Ahmad Kusyairi Suhail menilai apa yang dilakukan oleh netizen Indonesia dengan membanjiri komentar di akun-akun militer Israel termasuk bagian dari jihad fisabilillah dan dukungan untuk kemerdekaan Palestina. 

Hal ini berlandaskan sebuah hadits nabi Muhammad SAW. 

*الحرب خدعة*

"Perang itu tipu muslihat (dan siasat)" (HR Bukhari, no. 3029 dan Muslim, no. 1740).

Kiai Ahmad Kusyairi mengatakan hadits tersebut menegaskan bahwa dalam peperangan ada hal-hal yang diperbolehkan, yang dalam kondisi aman dan normal, tidak diperbolehkan. Termasuk dibolehkan melakukan siasat dan tipu muslihat kepada musuh dalam perang demi menyerang mereka dan menimpakan kekalahan kepada mereka tanpa menyebabkan kerugian di kalangan kaum muslimin. 

Menurut Kiai Kusyairi apa yang dilakukan netizen termasuk bagian dari strategi perang. Dan di era digitalisasi dan kemajuan teknologi informasi dewasa ini, jihad bil lisan (jihad deng lisan) di media sosial, menjadi sangat penting dan efektif sekali. 

“Termasuk ketika netizen Indonesia  ngebully dan membanjiri komen di akun twitter, instagram, facebook dan lainnya yang dimiliki oleh tentara zionis Israel yang menjajah Palestina dan membom secara brutal Gaza dan sekitarnya. Dan ini bagian dari jihad fi sabilillah dalam bentuk jihad bil lisan juga termasuk bagian strategi dan siasat perang sebagaimana disinggung Nabi SAW di atas,” kata kiai Kusyairi kepada Republika.co.id pada Senin (20/11/2023).

Akibat serangan netizen, sejumlah militer Israel pun terpaksa memprivate akun mereka. Bahkan hingga menghapus akun mereka. 

“Akun IG tentara Israel semua mulai diprivate, ada yang limited komen. Netizen Indonesia emang juara,” tulis akun @katz_bornagain.
