A pro-Iranian hacker group calling itself "Handalah" announced on Wednesday that it had successfully infiltrated Israel Defense Forces (IDF) bases and documented activities within them. The group released videos purportedly showing areas inside military bases, equipment, and soldier facilities, claiming the footage was gathered during recent conflicts. The hackers alleged they moved freely near senior commanders, some of whom remain in active service.
The released videos reportedly depicted scenes within military facilities, meeting rooms, and command centers, with the hackers asserting they were able to operate undetected. One video allegedly showed individuals in uniform watching the animated series "SpongeBob SquarePants." Handalah also claimed to have accessed IDF camera, sensor, and security systems, though they provided no independent evidence to substantiate these claims.
The hackers addressed the upcoming Israeli elections, sending a message to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. They questioned the notion of an "invincible army" and free elections in light of such alleged breaches, warning that "the next October 7 is approaching" under his leadership and that the "Zionist army will never sleep peacefully again."
As of now, there is no independent confirmation of Handalah's claims regarding infiltration of IDF bases or access to military security systems. The origin and authenticity of the released videos, as well as the hackers' assertion of ongoing operations within bases, remain unverified.
