2024-04-13 An Iranian cyber group claims: ‘We breached the radars in Israel’ An Iranian cyber group named Handala claims to have breached Israel’s radar systems and sent hundreds of thousands of threatening text messages to Israeli citizens. The group alleged it infiltrated the radar systems and dispatched 500,000 text messages to Israeli citizens. “You have only a few hours to fix the systems,” the message.
Moreover, the group claims to have sent 500,000 text messages to Israeli citizens, urging them to oppose their government and support Iran. These messages also contained threats to Israel. “People will pay for the crimes and foolishness of your leaders. There is no doubt that your leaders will regret these foolish ventures. Evacuate the cities; perhaps you will see less damage!” the message stated. “Do not hesitate and do not sleep; the chance to escape is less than ten seconds, and perhaps your city will be chosen.”
Handala is known for targeting Israeli interests. In the past, it has conducted cyber attacks on government and private sector websites. While the attackers’ claims remain unverified by official Israeli sources, security experts in Israel are expressing increasing concern over the possibility of Iranian cyber attacks aimed at critical national infrastructure. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/an-iranian-cyber-group-claims-we-breached-the-radars-in-israel/ar-BB1lzT0s?

2024-04-13 Here’s how Iran’s strike on Israel has unfolded Iran has made good on its threat to retaliate against a deadly strike on its consulate in Syria with a large aerial strike against Israel on Saturday. The drone and missile strikes could spark a major escalation of fighting in the Middle East amid the ongoing Israel-Hamas war.
Israeli officials said Saturday they had confirmed more than 100 drones had left Tehran and were heading towards Israel. Iranian state media reported that Tehran launched ballistic missiles and drones against targets in Israel. It is important to know that these attacks, unlike others in the past, are explicitly and directly coming from the Iranian government and its military.
Israel announced that it had detected the drone launches around 4 p.m. EST Saturday, noting that they would take hours to arrive. Social media reports and videos reviewed by POLITICO indicate that Iranian drones had already begun entering Israeli airspace and encountering Israel’s air defenses by 6 p.m. EST. Iran said around 6 p.m. EST that it concluded its military action, according to an X post from Tehran’s mission to the United Nations.
Ten Iron Dome batteries are scattered throughout Israel to protect the country. Each battery is composed of three to four launchers, 20 Tamir missiles and a radar. The U.S. has allocated more than three billion dollars over the years to support the maintenance and development of the air defense system, according to the Congressional Research Service. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/here-s-how-iran-s-strike-on-israel-has-unfolded/ar-BB1lzZ2U

2024-04-13 What we know about the strike Iran is sending into Israeli territory Iran launched more than 100 drones at Israel Saturday, in a retaliatory attack weeks after a strike hit an Iranian government building in Syria. Iran holds Israel responsible for the attack that killed two top Iranian commanders. The counter strike heightens concerns about “a major escalation between the regional archenemies,” Reuters reported.
According to a White House press release, President Joe Biden’s administration expects the attack to “unfold over a number of hours,” and confirmed the U.S.’s alliance with Israel. This attack is likely to unfold over a number of hours. “President Biden has been clear: our support for Israel’s security is ironclad. The United States will stand with the people of Israel and support their defense against these threats from Iran.”
The U.S. military shot down some of the Iranian drones en route to Israel Saturday afternoon. Israel has a “very strong defensive posture in order to address anything flying toward Israel,” an Israel Defense Forces official said, per The Washington Post.
