Residents in northern Tel Aviv discovered leaflets with QR codes in their mailboxes on Monday morning, November 9. The QR codes led to a website containing threats against Israel, with a hacker group linked to Iran, "Handala," claiming responsibility. According to journalist Yonatan Apolt reporting for N12/"Mako," the group stated on Telegram that hundreds of thousands of leaflets were distributed across Tel Aviv overnight by dozens of its activists. Footage showed mailboxes filled with the leaflets, including in the Ramat Aviv Gimel area.
The leaflets warned, "If your leaders attack the energy infrastructure of the resistance forces again, be prepared to pay a high price, not on the battlefield, but in everyday life." The hackers threatened Israelis with disruptions to electricity and water, stating, "From now on, you will live in shelters, without electricity, without water, and without hope."
Police confirmed the discovery of the leaflets in several northern Tel Aviv neighborhoods. The Yarkon district police investigated the distribution sites and collected materials for an investigation, which the General (Shin Bet) has joined. Investigators are working to determine who distributed the leaflets and whether they acted under instructions from Iran. Police urged residents who find similar materials to report them by calling 100 and advised against scanning the QR codes.
