 The Zionist Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu accused Iran, and its Palestinian and Lebanese allies on Sunday of carrying out “non-stop” cyber attacks on major computer systems in his entity.He gave no details on the number of attacks but said “vital national systems” had been targeted. Water, power and banking sites were also under threat, he added. “In the past few months, we have identified a significant increase in the scope of cyber attacks on Israel by Iran. These attacks are carried out directly by Iran and through its proxies, Hamas and Hezbollah,” he told a conference on cyber warfare in his entity’s commercial hub Tel Aviv. Zionist officials have long said that the country is under constant attack by enemies and ideological opponents to shut down vital websites. Most attacks have had little impact. Shlomi Dolev, a cybersecurity expert at Israel's Ben-Gurion University, said it is logical to assume that Iran is trying to attack Israeli targets. “Israel is under constant threat,” he said, though he could not verify the sources. "I'm not sure how sophisticated they are. But they of course have some experts," Dolev added. Netanyahu established a national cyber directorate in 2011 charged with protecting computer systems in the Zionist entity from disruption. The entity of occupation and the United States are widely believed to be behind a series of cyber attacks in recent years against an Iranian nuclear program they claim is aimed at developing atomic weapons. However, Iran strongly condemns the claims and says its nuclear activities are for peaceful purposes. | ||||
