BREAKING
Russian Ministry of Defense: 37 Ukrainian drones destroyed in 4 hours over regions of Russia and the Black Sea.
Sheikh Qassem: Our supporters make up more than half of Lebanon's population, and all of these people are united under the banner of protecting Lebanon, its Resistance, its people, and its integrity.
Sheikh Qassem: There will be no phased handing in of our arms. [The Israelis] must first enact the agreement before we start talking about a defensive strategy.
Sheikh Qassem: Be brave in the face of foreign pressures, and we will be by your side in this stance.
Sheikh Qassem: Stripping us of our arms is like stripping us of our very soul, and this will prompt us to show them our might.
Sheikh Qassem: We will not abandon our arms, for they gave us dignity; we will not abandon our arms, for they protect us against our enemy.
Sheikh Qassem: The US efforts we are seeing are aimed at sabotaging Lebanon and constitute a call for sedition.
Sheikh Qassem: If you truly want to establish sovereignty and work for Lebanon’s interests, then stop the aggression.
Sheikh Qassem: The United States, which is meddling in Lebanon, is not trustworthy but rather poses a danger to it.
Sheikh Qassem: The United States is preventing the weapons that protect the homeland.

According to a report by "Israel's" Ynetnews website, information security company ESET found that Iranian hackers exploited a known vulnerability in the corporate email servers of 32 Israeli companies to gain access to their networks.

The cybersecurity firm, choosing not to reveal the identities of the targeted companies, stated that the alleged Iranian hackers also infiltrated a Brazilian company and one in the UAE.

As per the report, the compromised companies span various industries, encompassing sectors such as insurance, healthcare, manufacturing, telecommunications, information technology, technology, retail, automotive, legal services, financial services, as well as architecture and civil engineering.

Ynetnews reported that the hacking group, self-identifying as Ballistic Bobcat, also operates under various aliases, such as Charming Kitten, TA543, PHOSPHORUS, APT35, and APT42. The report indicated that a minimum of 16 additional companies experienced security breaches by secondary attackers.

The Israeli regime has, on numerous occasions, taken actions against Iran, either directly or by supporting and encouraging the individuals or groups responsible for such actions.

As far back as 2012, The Washington Post reported that the US National Security Agency (NSA), in collaboration with the CIA and "Israel's" military, had cooperated in launching malware known as Stuxnet against Iran's nuclear facilities.

In response, Iranian hacking groups are believed to have carried out operations targeting Israeli interests.

In late 2020, the Israeli newspaper Ha'aretz claimed that a group of highly skilled hackers, described as Iranians, had penetrated as deeply as the office of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and a major aerospace company within the Israeli occupation.
