WANA (Mar 10) – In one of the latest cyber operations targeting Israel, the hacking group Handala announced that it had gained access to confidential information related to 50 senior officers of the Israeli Air Force, including pilots of advanced fighter jets and commanders of drone units.

 

In a message released by the group, Handala said the operation was carried out in response to what it described as “ongoing brutal crimes by the occupying regime against the resilient people.” The statement said the cyberattack delivered what the group called an “unprecedented blow” to the security structure of Tel Aviv.

 

According to the message, for the first time, the complete information of 50 senior officers serving in the Israeli Air Force—who the group said are directly involved in the bombing of civilians and operations against resistance groups—has been disclosed.

 

The list published by Handala reportedly includes full names, identification numbers, ranks, phone numbers, addresses, photographs, and professional profiles of the officers.

 

Those listed are said to include fighter pilots operating F-16 Fighting Falcon and F-35 Lightning II aircraft, commanders responsible for drone operations, senior aircraft maintenance technicians, and officials involved in planning aerial strikes.
