Police and Shin Bet have opened a joint investigation following the discovery of threatening leaflets from the Iranian hacker group ‘Handala’ distributed in mailboxes across northern Tel Aviv. The leaflets claimed that ‘dozens of resistance operatives were working in Tel Aviv until dawn’ and threatened severe consequences for Israeli citizens’ daily life if military operations against Iran resume.

According to multiple Israeli sources including Ynet and Jerusalem Post, the investigation focuses on the specific threats made against Israel’s water and energy infrastructure. The leaflets represent an escalation in cyber-threats and psychological warfare operations attributed to Iranian state-sponsored hacking groups.

The Shin Bet and police are investigating both the distribution method and the credibility of the threats, while heightened security measures may be implemented at critical infrastructure facilities. This incident follows a pattern of Iranian cyber operations targeting Israeli strategic assets.
