Anonymous, a hacker group, has taken credit for the Israeli Defence Forces (IDF) attack, claiming to have taken over 22 gigabytes of data, including over 233,000 documents. These files, which include Word documents, PowerPoint presentations, and PDFs, are said to contain classified military data.
Although the documents’ validity has not been confirmed, Israeli cybersecurity experts are suspicious, speculating that the attack might not have directly compromised the IDF’s highly defended systems but rather be a component of a psychological warfare strategy.
Concerns about growing cyberattacks are further heightened by this assertion, which comes after an earlier Anonymous report about hacking the Israeli Justice Ministry.
“Most of the crimes committed by the child-killing Zionist regime were committed by the Israel Defence Forces. The information you see in this section is a small gift from us to the oppressed children who lost their lives, father, mother and heart in Gaza by the bloodthirsty Zionists.”

Since the Israeli state launched its ongoing murderous war on the Gaza Strip in October of last year, it has been the target of multiple such cyberattacks.
The war, which began after opposition organisations in the coastal sliver launched a revenge assault against the occupied territories, has claimed the lives of over 34,000 Palestinians, the most of whom are women, children, and teenagers.
Anonymous For Justice made available some 200,000 emails, papers, photos, and other materials. The documents show ties between the IDF and foreign armies.
