Over the course of the weekend, a joint IDF and ISA Operation thwarted an attempt by Hamas to use the cyber realm in order to harm Israeli sites.
The Hamas terrorist organization attempted to establish offensive cyber capabilities within the Gaza Strip and to try and harm the Israeli cyber realm.
All of Hamas’ efforts were discovered in advance and thwarted. Hamas’ cyber efforts, which included an attempt in recent days, failed to achieve its goals.
Following Israel’s technological activities to stop Hamas’s cyber efforts, the IDF attacked a building from which the members of Hamas’ cyber array operated.
Senior ISA Official: “Israel’s cyber efforts and defensive capabilities have led Hamas’ cyber attempts to fail time and time again.”
