Yes, you can filter it at the GA level or block it server-side but some of it can only be blocked at the GA level (because they are sending a fake ping to Google with your GA ID, rather than crawling your website)

They are actually hitting the website. I don't use GA (I wrote my own analytics) and that's what i see in logs.
