Israeli police have launched an investigation into threatening flyers found in mailboxes in northern Tel Aviv, suspected to be linked to Iranian elements. The Shin Bet security agency is also involved in the probe. The flyers contain a QR code that directs to a website associated with the hostile hacking group "Handala," which displays menacing messages against Israel. The communication includes an explicit threat ending with the words, "This is a final warning." The leaflets were discovered at several addresses in the northern part of the city.

Following reports received by the police, officers from the Yarkon district arrived at the locations where the flyers were found and collected evidence to determine the circumstances of their distribution. Iranian media reported that the "Handala" group claimed responsibility for distributing the flyers in northern Tel Aviv. Police are urging any additional residents who encounter similar flyers to report them immediately.
