Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated that Ukrainian strikes on Yandex data centers have significantly reduced hostile online activity targeting Israel. He noted a "synergistic effect" from these operations, reporting a 60% drop in bot and pro-Kremlin account activity against Israel after Russian servers were impacted. Netanyahu highlighted the strategic influence of high-tech strikes on hybrid threats and indicated that Israel intends to reassess its own information and digital security approaches, moving in a similar direction despite legal and regulatory constraints.
The Ukrainian strikes, using FP-1 drones, disabled powerful Russian supercomputers Chervonenkis and Lyapunov in Sasovo, rendering their data center infrastructure unusable for managing bot farms. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky previously explained these targeted operations against Russian tech giants as a legitimate response to systematic Russian attacks on Ukrainian energy and civilian sites.
This development follows reports of decreased anti-Israeli propaganda after Ukraine's attack on Yandex. Notably, Trump supporter Laura Loomer thanked Zelensky for the strikes on Russian data centers and mentioned Israel in connection with the events.
