Israeli media have cited officials as saying that hacking the phone of the Mossad chief wife comes in retaliation for an "aerial attack in Iran last month."

Israeli media reported Thursday that the mobile phone of the wife of the Israeli Mossad Chief David Barnea was hacked and its contents were published on an anonymous Telegram account.

According to Haaretz, "The contents, including photos and documents, were published by hackers who targeted an old cellphone of hers."

The Israeli website, however, pointed out that Barnea's personal devices that are encrypted and secured were not hacked.

It also reported that Israeli officials estimate "that this hack was revenge for an aerial attack in Iran last month, which caused heavy damage to the country’s drone network."

An unknown group calling themselves "Open Hands" has announced Wednesday an intelligence mission in a short clip exposing a series of documents belonging to the head of the Israeli Mossad.

Israeli government websites down

It is noteworthy that a blackout has affected all websites of the Israeli occupation government, causing users to lose access to the cabinet's pages, Israeli media reported on Monday.

Users reported that they were unable to load the Israeli websites, Israeli media added, noting that even the occupation's ministers were unable to log onto the websites.

The occupation's media also revealed that Israeli Prime Minister Bennett left a cabinet meeting for over two hours, and his office did not respond to a request for comment.

"A cyberattack has paralyzed all Israeli government websites, and, according to estimations, Iranian hackers are behind the attack," Israeli media said.

The cyberattacks prompted "Tel Aviv" to put its Cyber Directorate on high alert.

Israeli media also quoted an Israeli security source as saying this cyberattack was the biggest against the Israeli infrastructure.

An Israeli security official admitted, according to Al Mayadeen's correspondent, that the cyberattack had affected several Israeli government websites, including the websites of the premier, the ministry of justice, the ministry of internal affairs, the ministry of health, and the ministry of trade.
