The number of Iranian cyberattacks against Israel has increased significantly since the start of U. S.-Israeli military operations against Iran this year. Yossi Karadi, Director General of Israel’s National Cyber Directorate, reported that Israel recorded about 1,600 cyber incidents in June 2025, which rose to around 4,800 incidents in June 2026. Karadi noted that while some groups are very skilled, Israel can manage the situation, emphasizing that there is no ceasefire in cyberspace.
The attacks target critical infrastructure, central organizations, small and medium-sized companies, including law and accounting firms. Karadi mentioned that, so far, Israel has successfully defended against attacks on critical infrastructure. However, companies that are more vulnerable often suffer severe damage, such as having their computer systems wiped. Despite these incidents, Iran often denies its involvement in hacking campaigns against other nations.
