Gaza, MINA – An Israeli military report revealed that the Palestinian Resistance Movement Hamas conducted a cyber attack on Israeli soldiers over two years before the Al-Aqsa Flood Operation on October 7, 2023.
According to Israel’s Channel 12, the Israeli army confirmed that Hamas successfully hacked soldiers’ phones and gathered sensitive information, which reportedly supported the planning of the October 7 operation, Palestine Chronicle reports.

The New York Times also reported that video footage from cameras mounted on Hamas members who were killed on October 7 indicated a detailed knowledge of Israeli military operations and vulnerabilities.
