Key Findings

• Hacktivist group Handala claimed an attack against Israel’s Iron Dome missile defense system and a radar system tracking Israeli aircraft.
• The effects of this attack could disrupt Israel’s defense industry and military operations in Gaza if the leaked radar information is disclosed to Israel’s adversaries.
• The finding indicates that Handala is more incentivized and capable than other threat actors who have emerged since the war began in October. The group seems to be intent on continuing attacks against Israel, as well as increasing the impact of these attacks.
• Handala warned that its hacks could escalate if Israel moves ahead with its final incursion into Rafah, the last remaining city in Gaza yet to face an offensive.
• A ceasefire proposal between both sides is proving elusive, and Israel has given the start of Ramadan on March 10 as a key date for beginning the offensive.
