WANA (Apr 04) – The hacker group “Handala” has claimed it exposed the identities of 50 senior officers affiliated with Unit 9900, an Israeli military intelligence division.

 

According to statements released on Saturday, the group said this marks the first time such a large number of senior personnel from the unit have been identified publicly.

 

Unit 9900 is considered one of the most advanced geospatial intelligence divisions globally, specializing in the analysis of drone and satellite imagery as well as 3D mapping to gather strategic intelligence. The unit’s capabilities are reportedly used in various military operations, including targeted assassination strikes.

 

The Handala group described the alleged leak as the end of what it called the “myth of invincibility” surrounding the unit, and characterized the move as a warning to participants in cyber warfare.
