Israeli websites come under cyberattack
JERUSALEM (AA) – Several Israeli websites came under a cyberattack by an Iraqi hacker group, local media reported Wednesday.
The Israeli daily Yedioth Ahronoth reported that they included one belonging to Israel’s Aviation Authority, Channel 9’s website and the website of the Israeli Public Broadcasting Corporation (KAN).
The cyberattack was allegedly carried out by an Iraqi Shiite group dubbed the ALtahrea Team which supports Iran.
It was allegedly carried out in retaliation for the assassination of Iran’s top military commander Qassem Soleimani, who was killed in a US drone strike on Jan. 3, 2020.
