Iranian Hackers’ Leaflets Hit Tel Aviv, Threaten Blackouts

MENAFNPolice opened an investigation after the flyers surfaced at multiple locations. Each carried a QR code linking to a webpage suspected of containing threats, according to a police statement.
The statement said the leaflets bore a warning from the “Handala Team” reading: “No water, no electricity,” along with a vow to “completely paralyze Israeli infrastructure.”
The group named power plants, oil refineries and desalination facilities across Israel as potential targets if Israel’s leadership resumes attacks on Iranian energy infrastructure, police said.
The flyers further cautioned that Israelis would be left in “dark shelters without water or hope.” They billed the message a “final warning” and offered Israeli leaders what they called a choice between “reason or drowning in the darkness of catastrophe.”
Police did not disclose how the leaflets ended up in the mailboxes or whether they had identified anyone responsible for distributing them.
In recent years, Israeli police have announced the arrests of dozens of Israelis suspected of communicating with Iranian intelligence operatives via social media and carrying out tasks for payment.
The discovery comes amid persistent tensions between Israel and Iran, with national media reporting that Israel is making military preparations to strike Iranian infrastructure if hostilities resume.
The US and Israel launched a war against Iran on Feb. 28. Tehran retaliated with attacks on Israel and on what it said were US military facilities in Gulf countries.
Washington and Tehran signed a memorandum of understanding in June and opened negotiations. The talks later stalled over disagreements on guarantees for freedom and security of navigation through the Strait of Hormuz, a key route for global energy supplies and international trade.
