Iran Hacks Israel's Airports Authority Site

Iranian hackers, known as the Al-Tahira, claim to have succeeded in bringing down Israel Airports Authority (IAA) website.

The Middle East Monitor reports on Saturday, that the group said that it is to avenge the assassination of Iran's Revolutionary Guards' Commander Qassem Soleimani.

In a statement, the IAA said: "In the last few minutes, the site is experiencing a multi-user attack. There is no damage or intrusion into the Airports Authority's operational systems."

Walla News also reported that the Iranian Telegram channel, Sabareen claimed that the group conducted attacks against several Israeli news sites that were inaccessible at the time, including the Israeli Russian-language Channel 9 and KAN news.

Sareen had reported in a message on Monday that the "Iraqi special forces threaten to carry out the first quality operations from Iraqi ground into the Zionist entity, which will quiet the enemy."

In recent years, Israeli trade and medical firms, as well as other vital facilities have been subjected to repeated cyber attacks. Israel accuses Iranian hackers of carrying out some of these attacks, as part of the ongoing cyber cold war between the two countries.
