Sun 14 July 2024:
Israel has recorded 3 billion cyber-attacks targeting its military computer systems since 7 October, according to Israeli media reports on Friday, Anadolu Agency reports.
Desert. Racheli Dembinski, commander of the army’s Centre of Computers and Information Systems unit, told the Israeli daily, Haaretz, that “the number of attempted cyber-attacks on IDF (army) computer systems has reached 3 billion since the war started”.
The attacks “targeted the military’s main operational cloud computing systems, which included software used by the troops on the ground to manage the fighting, locate the forces and share real-time information,” she added.
Dembinski did not specify what types of cyber-attacks were carried out throughout the war and what their risk level was.

“All the attacks were foiled,” Dembinski said, noting that: “They did not lead to even one occasion in which the army’s systems have been taken out of order.”
She admitted that at the beginning of 7 October attacks, she was “certain that the army’s alert system had collapsed.”
The Israeli army said, Thursday, that an investigation revealed that the soldier was “not prepared for the extensive infiltration scenario” that unfolded on the day.
Flouting a UN Security Council resolution demanding an immediate ceasefire, Israel has faced international condemnation amid its continued brutal offensive on Gaza since a 7 October, 2023 attack by Hamas.
Over 38,300 Palestinians have since been killed, mostly women and children, and nearly 88,300 others injured, according to local health authorities.
Nine months into the Israeli war, vast tracts of Gaza lie in ruins amid a crippling blockade of food, clean water and medicine.
