Iranian Cyberattacks on Israel Nearly Triple in June, Cyber Chief Says

Israel's National Cyber Directorate chief Yossi Karadi told Die Welt that Iranian cyberattacks jumped from about 1,600 hostile incidents during Israel's June 2025 operations against Iran to roughly 4,800 incidents in June 2026. Karadi said the attacks target critical infrastructure, central organizations, small and medium-sized companies and ordinary citizens, including law and accounting firms. He warned that some Iranian-linked groups are highly skilled and that, unlike the kinetic battlefield, there is no ceasefire in cyberspace. The figures underscore Iran's continuing campaign against Israel's civilian resilience, even as Israel's cyber defenders keep the country functioning under pressure.
