Israeli Security Agency Claims Hackers Planning Massive Attacks to Mark Iran's Quds Day - Report

On Quds Day, which is also the last Friday of the holy fasting month of Ramadan, Muslims around the world traditionally gather for marches in solidarity with Palestinians. The annual Quds Day celebration was launched by Iran in 1979 to counter what Tehran says is Israeli aggression.

The Israeli National Cyber Directorate is reportedly anticipating “Iran-linked” cyber attacks coordinated by hackers around the globe against the Jewish state, to mark the annual Quds Day.

“The directorate again warns organizations about attackers’ use of common current vulnerabilities and calls on them to implement the relevant security updates as soon as possible,” the statement reportedly said.

“The assessment is that this year there will be attacks that are focused not only on websites but also attempts to cause damage to information systems of Israeli organizations,” the statement reportedly added.

Israel celebrates its own Jerusalem Day on May 10, which marks the day Israel seized then Jordan-controlled East Jerusalem during the 1967 Six-Day War. In 1980, the Israeli parliament adopted the Jerusalem Law proclaiming the entire city Israel’s “united and undivided capital.” The international community does not recognize the annexation and believes the status of Jerusalem should be agreed with the Palestinians, who have claims to its eastern part.

In response, Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas in May 2020 terminated all treaties with the United States and Israel.

The Russian Foreign Ministry also said last month that Jerusalem should become the capital of two independent countries — Israel and Palestine, “open to followers of all three monotheistic religions.” 

The Palestinian elections will be the first ones held in 15 years.
