The Kabul Tribune (KT) \u2014 Iranian cyberattacks targeting
\nIsrael have increased significantly since the launch of the U.S.-Israeli
\nmilitary offensive against Iran this year, Reuters reported, citing Israel’s
\ntop cyber security official.<\/p>\n
Yossi Karadi, director general of Israel’s National Cyber
\nDirectorate, told German newspaper Die Welt that Israeli authorities recorded
\nabout 4,800 hostile cyber incidents in June 2026, compared with approximately
\n1,600 incidents during the same month in 2025, when Israel conducted military
\noperations against Iran.<\/p>\n
According to Reuters, Karadi said some of the groups behind
\nthe attacks are highly sophisticated and should be taken seriously.<\/p>\n
“Unlike in the kinetic realm, there’s no ceasefire in
\ncyberspace,” Karadi said.<\/p>\n
He said the cyberattacks targeted critical infrastructure,
\ngovernment institutions, small and medium-sized businesses and members of the
\npublic. Law firms and accounting firms were among the smaller organizations
\naffected, he added.<\/p>\n
Karadi said Israeli authorities have so far succeeded in
\npreventing attacks against the country’s critical infrastructure but noted that
\norganizations with weaker cyber defenses have experienced severe disruptions,
\nincluding the destruction of computer systems.<\/p>\n
Reuters noted that Iran has consistently denied conducting
\ncyberattacks against other countries while frequently reporting that it has
\nitself been targeted by cyber operations.<\/p>\n
