In light of Iranian Cyber attack Chief of Staff Kochavi: will use a variety of tools against enemy

Two Sudanese tried to cross Lebanon's border and enter Israel. The two were arrested. Military officials estimate that Hezbollah is behind the two attempts to invade Israel.

In the background of the report of an Israeli cyber attack in Iran, Chief of Staff Aviv Kochavi said Tuesday (Tuesday) that "we will use a variety of tools to harm the enemy." The remarks at the exchange of home commander exchanges indicated a stellar clue about the IDF's actions against the Islamic Republic. "The enemy chose to deploy missiles and rockets within the villages, thus turning them into military targets. Thus, on the day of the command, the enemy will discover that with his hands he has turned his home front, and we will attack him forcefully," he warned.

According to Kochavi, "While we do everything we can to avoid civilian casualties, the enemy makes every effort to harm civilians. In contrast to the enemy, we will act both aggressively and values ​​and base our action on intelligence and operational need. IDF intelligence and firepower. "

Israel is behind a cyber attack on port systems in Iran - the Washington Post reported Tuesday night. According to reports, Israeli officials have shut down the compound computers for days, in response to attempts to penetrate and disrupt water systems in Israel last month.
On May 9, a shipment of traffic came to a sudden and unexplained stop at Shahid Rajai port in southern Iran. The computers that regulate the movement of vessels, trucks, and goods collapsed at once, creating large loads on the cruise lanes and roads leading to the complex. The next day, Iranian officials realized that a foreign and unknown hacker had dropped the port's computer systems.
Now, more than a week later, the full explanation has arrived. The port reportedly fell victim to a major cyber attack by the United States and Israel. According to intelligence and cyber sources in the details, the attack that disrupted port traffic for days was carried out by Israeli officials, apparently in retaliation for previous attempts to infiltrate computers operating the water systems in Israel.
A security official from another country following the incident called the attack "very accurate" and said the damage to the Iranian port was more severe than what was described in statements by Tehran. According to him, "there was complete disarray." An American official also added that Israel is likely to be behind the attack.
The Washington Post obtained satellite photos from May 9 showing heavy traffic loads along many miles on roads leading to Shahid Rajai Harbor. In the picture from May 12 you can see several cargo ships waiting along the coast outside the harbor entrance. The port complex is one of two major freight terminals in the coastal city of Bender Abbas, located on the Iranian side of the Strait of Hormuz. The Israeli embassy in the United States and the IDF refused to respond to the US report.
Reports indicate further tensions between Jerusalem and Tehran, although US cyber experts say most of the recent incidents have been halted so far. "Assuming this is true, the attack is in line with Israeli policy of aggressive reaction to provocations by Iran - by kinetic or by any other means," said Dmitry Alfrovich, cyber expert and founder of CrowdStrike. "Whenever Iran sees escalation, as it does in Syria, they consistently see Israeli revenge by bombardment on rocket-building positions. So they probably have implemented this policy in the cyberspace as well."
Mohammed Restad, director general of the Ministry of Ports and the Maritime Organization, confirmed nine days ago that an attack had been carried out against the port's computer systems.
On May 8, Iran was reportedly responsible for two cyber attacks against Israeli water infrastructure. Officials on the subject said hackers tried to harm computers that control water flow and water savings, as well as a system that believes in the addition of chlorine and other chemicals. The attack was discovered and thwarted before significant damage was done. Iran, for its part, has denied its involvement in the failed hacking attempt.
Researchers have found that hackers have used servers in the United States and Europe - a common tactic among Western rivals. Israeli water authorities have identified the experience and have taken preventive action immediately, including changing the system passwords.
Each state has accused the other of similar attacks in the past. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said last year that Israeli officials "constantly identify and frustrate Iranian attempts" to penetrate the country's computer systems. Years earlier, the United States and Israeli intelligence released a computer worm called Staxnet that disrupted the Iranian nuclear program. None of the states approved its involvement.
