Are there r/WorldNews Israel bots or am I hallucinating

I just noticed that there are quite a few users on Reddit from r/WorldNews who are defending Israel unequivocally and when I checked some of the users they seemed to be engaging on topics only about Israel/Palestine and they seem to be extremely active, so I have checked the Internet and there are even some older BBC article and Reddit posts discussing exactly this issue: https://www.bbc.com/news/blogs-news-from-elsewhere-23695896

There are definitely pro-Russia bots. At some point they would all come online at the same time and post the same thing but with different synonyms.
