Iran orchestrates a multi-pronged attack on Israel, combining physical missile strikes with online disinformation and a cyberattack, showcasing their capabilities in hybrid warfare.
Iran has launched a hybrid warfare assault on Israel, combining real-world missile strikes with online threats and a cyberattack. This coordinated attack underscores Iran's growing capabilities in blending physical and digital warfare tactics.
The incident began on Thursday when Iran launched a missile attack in southern Israel, striking a military site and causing damage but no casualties. This physical strike was followed by an orchestrated campaign of disinformation messaging and a cyberattack targeting Israeli systems.
According to security experts, the cyberattack aimed to disrupt and undermine Israel's defenses, potentially laying the groundwork for future aggression. Iran has long been suspected of developing advanced cyber warfare capabilities, and this incident suggests they are willing to deploy these tools in tandem with traditional military actions.
