Israeli police and the Shin Bet security agency are investigating the distribution of threatening leaflets found in mailboxes in northern Tel Aviv. The leaflets contain a QR code that directs users to a website associated with the hacker group Handala, which has published messages threatening Israel, including one stating, "This is the last warning." Police from the Yarkon district responded to the locations where the leaflets were discovered, collected evidence, and began an investigation to identify those responsible for their distribution. Investigators are also examining a potential connection to Iranian entities. Iranian media reported that Handala claimed responsibility for the leaflets in Tel Aviv. Handala is known for cyberattacks and publishing threatening messages against Israel, and its name appeared on the website linked by the QR code. Police are urging residents who find similar leaflets to report them immediately. The article also references a previous report about Iran's alleged intentions to disrupt Israel's water and electricity supply.
