The Israeli newspaper described the leaks as "likely the most severe in Israel’s history."

Anti-Israeli hackers have unleashed a massive wave of classified data leaks, further straining Israel's efforts to contain the breaches, Haaretz reported Tuesday. According to the newspaper, the leaks include tens of thousands of sensitive documents and emails stolen from key Israeli institutions, notably the Justice Ministry.

The cyberattacks, which began on October 7, 2023, have hit a broad array of targets, ranging from military and security contractors to hospitals and government ministries. The sheer scale of the breaches has overwhelmed "Israel's" cybersecurity, exposing significant vulnerabilities.

“The true extent of the damage to Israel’s security and economy caused by these leaks is not yet fully known,” a source close to the investigation revealed, adding that “Despite massive investment in defensive cybersecurity measures, the scale of the leaks is likely the most severe in Israel's history -- an unprecedented looting of gigabytes upon gigabytes of information of all sorts."

According to the text, the leaked data has spread across platforms like Telegram, leading Israeli authorities to initiate multiple takedown efforts. However, Telegram's lax moderation policies have made it challenging to curb the distribution.

“Telegram emerged at the start of the war as a key platform utilized by Hamas' information warfare against Israel, one Israel was unable to properly address, lacking both monitoring capabilities and an understanding of the platform,” Haaretz reported.

"Israel" has sought to mitigate the damage through "legal measures" and direct negotiations with tech giants such as Google, Amazon, and Meta, according to the report, adding that the hackers were a step ahead and were able to adapt by using decentralized hosting services and "onion domains" which obscure the source of the data and hinder takedown efforts.

On day 319 of the genocide in Gaza, the total number of Palestinians killed since the Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip started on October 7 has risen to 40,173, in addition to 92,857 injuries, according to the daily report published by the Health Ministry in Gaza on Tuesday.

"Israel" committed three massacres in 24 hours, killing 34 Palestinians and injuring 114 others. While some were transported to partially functioning hospitals, many victims remain trapped beneath the rubble with rescue crews unable to reach them.
