The cyber defense unit of the ICT Division, under the command of Maj. Gen. Lior Carmeli, implemented on the second day of Operation The Guardians of the Wall an attack on the Hamas cyber unit, which damaged the organization's infrastructure and equipment. Walla! It was learned that during the days of the operation, the Air Force carried out ten attacks on offices, command rooms, servers and computers, as well as against senior operatives in Hamas' cyber unit who have so far been defined in the intelligence community as secret figures operating far from the spotlight and cyber attacks on Israel.



"Processes that began in the ICT Division enable a smart, accurate, and fast war. The ICT Division's systems allow this," explained a senior IDF officer. "Unlike previous systems, everything is very accurate at a high level of quality and sequence. There are many targets and we can continue to attack, while maintaining a high level of quality. "This includes senior activists, infrastructure for the intensification of disputes, tunnels and more. Other than that, there is complete freedom of action to operate. We have not been able to harm our systems."



The General Staff deliberations presented a list of attacks against the cyber unit, some of which were aimed at activists whose fate is currently unknown.

"They are not succeeding in carrying out activities against us," the senior officer explained, detailing the ICT's professional and consistent contribution to cyber defense and the attack on Hamas. "Not only is the defensive effort good, in the end there is also an offensive effort in this area. "I am not waiting for him to organize, for them to take action and attack and we will wait at the gate, on defense. There is a dual purpose for us to see that we are effectively defending in the cyber field. Part of the defense's effort is to do offensive actions as well. .

The IDF estimates that Hamas will have difficulty restoring its cyber capabilities in the near future after activists were injured and expensive infrastructure caught fire. "They have not been able to launch attacks.

There are currently not even attempts on the other side to attack us in cyber because we do not allow them.

"They feel haunted by people in the various HQs, from the beginning of the fighting. We pretty much eliminated this threat and did not meet it. One dimension is currently out of the question."



In recent years, members of the Hamas cyber unit have been working to gather information about the IDF, the mood in Israel, and efforts have been made to deceive men and women soldiers, and to attack Israeli sites without success.
