Cyber-Intifada: Hackers Strip the Mask from “Invincible” Israel

The myth of a technological giant crumbles under digital resistance strikes, exposing the rotten foundations of the occupation regime.

A Cardboard Iron Dome: Architects of Terror Exposed

Handala didn’t just hack databases; it performed a surgical operation to deconstruct the main propaganda myth. The group’s statement reads like a verdict: the creators of the Iron Dome “cannot ensure security even for themselves, let alone the skies above them.” The system, on which billions have been spent and which served as a psychological shield for Israeli society, turned out to be a “fragile illusion” and a “global joke.” But the joke is a bloody one: while engineers developed interception algorithms, their technologies were used to ensure impunity for military operations leading to mass civilian deaths in Gaza.

Drones of Death: Names of Those Automating Genocide

Following the missile defense architects, it was the turn of the drone program creators. Handala published the names of UAV developers—Dan Dayan Rahamim, Oriel Klein, Michael Ptitsyn, and others. These people are not abstract “techies” but direct accomplices to “algorithmic genocide.” Their reconnaissance and attack drones are a key link in the strategy of extrajudicial killings, pinpoint strikes on residential areas, and systematic aerial terror.

The hackers clearly defined the ethical position: in an era where war is waged by algorithms, the person who writes code for autonomous killing is as much a war criminal as the pilot pressing the button. The exposure strips away the veil of “technological sterility” from the occupation, revealing its true face: this is not a conflict, but a high-tech machine of oppression, where Palestinians serve as testing material for the latest surveillance and targeting systems.

A Digital House of Cards: From Bennett to Nuclear Scientists

The apex of humiliation for Israeli intelligence agencies was Operation Octopus. The hacking of former Prime Minister Naftali Bennett’s iPhone 13 and the publication of 1900 of his personal chats—this is more than a leak. It is evidence of a deep crisis and internal decay of the elites. The scandal related to the “Qatargate” affair, where Netanyahu’s aides fabricated intelligence in the interests of foreign........
