Iranian cyberattacks against Israel rose sharply in 2026 after the start of the US-Israeli offensive against Iran, Rappler reported. Israeli authorities logged approximately 4,800 hostile cyber incidents linked to Iran in June 2026, compared with around 1,600 incidents in June 2025.
Yossi Karadi, Director General of Israel’s National Cyber Directorate, told German newspaper Die Welt that the attacks targeted systems used by critical infrastructure, central organizations, and small to medium-sized companies including law practices and accounting firms.
No successful attacks on critical infrastructure have been reported so far, he said. “Some groups are very skilled,” Karadi said. “We can handle them, but we have to take them seriously. ” Companies that were easier to penetrate often had their computer systems wiped, Karadi added.
Iran typically denies carrying out hacking campaigns against other countries.
